[Discuss] Home NAS redux

[jprigot at verizon.net (Jonathan M. Prigot)]

Not necessarily. We use a proprietary RAID system that does provide for
it. There are three phases covered: Park heads after x minutes, Reduce
disk speed after y minutes, and Spin down the disks after z minutes.
That last is good for our spare disks so that they have no wear until
needed. Haven't seen this with NAS4FREE or FreeNAS, it might be in other
projects.
