Hello Everyone,
Question: I have 2 striped RAID sets in my OMV 7.1.1-1 (Sandworm) system (4 drives in each set).
the "Main" set & the "Back-Up" set (I know RAID is not a backup, but I figure what are the chances of both RAID sets getting messed (up or a bad drive in each set) at the same time?)
The only time I want the drives in the Back-UP set to spin up or to be active, is when I'm backing up files from the Main RAID set to the Back-Up set. Otherwise, is it better to just unmount the drives from the Back-Up set (so they wouldn't spin up), or should I just set a spin-down time of about 5 minutes for them?
I'm especially concerned about the drives from the Back-up set not being active/spun-up when I'm playing movies or TV shows from the Main set.
Is spun down the same as not powered on (assuming not?)
Thanks
