Drive spin down timer?
Hi folks.. fairly new here. I used Claude extensively to get going with UNRAID, which I have running on a 4-bay Terramaster NAS. Everything seems to work fairly well - my main use cases / applications are qbittorrent and Plex. I have currently set the spin down timer for the drives/array to 2 hours. This is what the LLM recommended, but today Gemini seems to think it would be healthier long-term to just let the drives keep running perpetually and reduce spin up/down cycles. Who's right and why ? What would the optimal setting here be?
