Hot Spare status
All, I have always wondered what the hot spare is doing while waiting to be put into action. Is it powered up and eating power or is it powered down until needed. Hopefully the latter is true...
When I talk about a "hot spare" I am meaning a disk that I set aside for use as a spare - it is not in the NAS and is not powered. AFAIK there is no way to keep a spare drive plugged into the NAS.
