Sorry, if I'm necro'ing an old post, but I'm switching to Drivepool/Stablebit Scanner combo from DriveBender. and I'd like some advice on how to best maintain the health of my disks regarding standby/disk control, query, etc. options now available.
My setup:
20 Green disks (3TB and 4TB) attached to two Supermicro SAS/SATA 8 port cards and the remaining to onboard Intel/Marvel controllers.
I will have one large duplicated pool containing all 20 disks.
Electricity is not a concern, performance is secondary concern, but health of disks is primary concern.
That being said, what are your recommendations on things like spin down, standby, don't wake up for SMART, etc.
Thanks.
