I've had this problem on and off for a couple of years. I have an OWC Thunderbay 8 with 8x 16TB drives in a RAID 1+0 array through SoftRAID. It's backing up continuously to Backblaze. Every few minutes, each drive seems to spin up and then subsequently go back to sleep. I've tried validating the RAID, restarting the computer, ejecting the entire bay, and adjusting settings in Backblaze. Does anyone know how I can get this to stop? Not only is it annoying, but it can't be good for the drives. Please help!
