Just wonder if it's better for an HDD not to spindown at all. Maybe it's safer to spin in peace than to park/launch? What do you think? > Hello again all, > I was wondering if there was an automatic, and possibly timed means to > spin down disks available in either ports or the base system,

Hi. I've bought a ATI Radion 9000 64Mb and now I'm happy! It runs movies of any kind with postprocessing. I've already tested it by running Quake2 and Quake3arena with Wine under FreeBSD 4.9. They both are looking more alive than under Windows with nVidia TNT2! Even more if you believe top, 60%
