Does anyone know if OnTAP spins down spares? IIRC, when I've pulled spares
in the past, they were definately spinning. I can't say for sure why this
is bothering me, but it would seem that leaving them idle would be a good
thing.. From looking at specs, even older drives will be ready in NLT 20s,
which isn't enough to seriously impact rebuild times, and the drive is
still available for non-media access commands, so it seems like an all
'round good idea..
Is there something I'm overlooking, or is this completely inconsequential
in the grand scheme of things?
