Never really thought about that but the machine acts as server only
during the day but also runs at night - at that time nothing at all is
done with the box so I thought it would be better to send the drive to
sleep overnight.

Thanks for this thought - I'll adjust the settings via a cron-daemon
so that the drive does not have to do unesscesary spin-ups during use.
