Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?
Why?
Power consumption.
Plus, I don’t think an enterprise grade server is designed to spin down the disks when they’re not in use.
You can just do that yourself regardless of what the server was intended to do, with a cronjob for example. You can also set an idle time after which it spins down with hdparm but that doesn’t always work for different reasons.
How do I set a cronjob on a Hyper-V host?
No idea, does it pass the drives through?
