Hi,

Two of my internal IDE hard drives idle rather noisily. I was wondering if I unmount the drive, and it is completely not active, if there is any way to power it down any? If not power it down, sort of spin down and power save like laptops do

Thanks!
George

thank you

but before i try it... might this hurt a software raid at all when trying to power down two disks that make up a software raid0?
