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?
