I lost a hard drive on my firewall machine recently so I looked for ways to conserve the drive. I enabled power saving(?) in the BIOS so that the IDE spins down after 5 mins of inactivity. As it is the only machine on a lot of the time, the HD is rarely used anyway. Any downside to this, will it cause problesm? Three days in and the machine seems fine.
