Hi All,

A very quick question. I have 4 hard drives installed into my proxmox server, they are totally unused, don't even have a GPT partition on them. How can I get Proxmox to spin them down when not in use?

For reference, I know that spinning down HDDs will ultimately reduce their life, however, these drives are not being used at all and are only there for future use (so if i need to increase storage while I don't have access to the server).

TIA
