Was reading the following article on how to reduce power in your home
office and came across this quote:

"The Rocky Mountain Institute's Lovins suggests even more aggressive
settings. Since your hard drive is designed to spin up and down an
enormous number of times, don't hesitate to cut its turnoff setting
from 15 minutes to, say, two or three."

I had always been told that spin up/down is the #1 cause of long term
HD death.  Am I wrong or is this guy just talking out his butt?
