Where did I say anything about "should"? All I said was that is was configured that way on purpose. What benefit do I gain from doing otherwise? No more 10 second delay? That's not worth the extra money on my power bill. No "should' there, just my opinion based on my feelings toward my bank account and wallet's well being
Now stop putting words in my mouth, and stop making blanket statements about servers. They are not all created equal. If you're holding home servers to the same standard that you hold all other ones, I would certainly like to take a look at yours. I mean, I certainly hope you keep in it it's own dedicated cool room, with an up to code A/C and exhaust system, and a fire alarm shut off, and thousands and thousand of dollars of other improvements only businesses need. We're not running web or development servers here, they're just for media

Plan simple fact! Server HDD should not spin down...
Didn't say it was ideal but its the truth. For practical reasons of course you want unused equipment to sleep... But then don't have issue with the fact that it takes time to spin up a drive.
Simple truth... Sleeping HDD takes time to wakeup, have issues with the time it takes?... His configuration is wrong!
I think you might be confused about the difference between opinion and fact. There are no "facts" here, just personal preferences which can't be wrong or right
If this wasn't a fact I would agree with you (every has an opinion)... but how do you think data farms work? without redundant information hdds don't sleep... FACT!!
Plus its a clear question... does his configuration work for him? No it doesn't!!
If I set my PC to sleep after 2 minutes idle, and don't like how long it takes to wake up... should I write microsoft and ask them to change the code to allow a wakeup every two minutes? NO!! I would change my configuration to my needs. This isn't opinion but common sense!
I agreed that a feature like he requested would be possible and may be included in my build... but seriously if you can't see that a fundamental configuration problem is present I don't know what to say...
There is so much software out there to manage I/O idling... nuts to think every problem should be adapted to an individual's needs...
