  1. Question regarding HDD Spindown


    I know Windows has the feature of powering down harddrives when they are idle.Since I'm thinking about building a RAID (5) array, I was wondering if one of you could tell me whether this feature also works for such arrays or only for single drives.

    Thanks!

      and

      PC.
