Is there anything I can do to increase the life span of the drives in my RAID? Want to make sure they live as long as possible.
Tuning RAID to increase longevity/life of drives

What hdds are you using?

Changed info I provided to something more readable.
The 3 raid drives are all Seagate.

Afaik those drives are desktop drives. Depending on your usage, it would be good to set them to sleep if you do not need them. (Or power down the whole NAS via autoshutdown plugin)
It is hard to suggest times for sleep without further information about your usage. -

It is hard to suggest times for sleep without further information about your usage.Usage is currently very minimal. It's more of a file storehouse (file are rarely used, older, but are sometimes accessed/referenced) and also a centralized Movie/Picture/Music storage.
Definitely don't want to mess with powering down the whole NAS via autoshutdown, but was more wondering about the APM/AAM/Spindown options for each drive in the RAID, and how it affects ran functionality/replication/speed.
- APM - Minimum Power Usage with Spindown vs without Spindown?
- AAM - Minimum Performance vs Max Performance?
- Spindown times?

Also, is there anything with hdparm I can do to increase life of the drives?

I recommend using NAS drives (WD Red or Seagate). I do not know for sure but using the standby/sleep options would help I think.
