You pay your electricity, but you pollute _our_planet.
As I said... I spread my filesystems across several small disks. This GREATLY reduces disk-head wear... not proportionately, but in fact, geometrically.
Not true. Ask your HD manufacturer. Once we asked Seagate about the life expectancy of disks continuously on, or automatically standed down (not spinning). The said: "the same, no effect". In fact, you are increasing the overall incident rate by spreading your data over several smaller disks. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
