I want to build a small Linux NAS, and out of the box Linux doesn't put hard drives to sleep. I know that some electronics wears out faster when it's always switched on and off as opposed to being on constantly, but is this the case for HDDs and is it worth setting up sleep for them on a NAS? Noise isn't a problem, I actually kinda like it.
