Hi,
I've always wondered whether or not I should have the HDs shutdown after a period of non-use. What are the current recommendations you guys have?
Currently I've got power management turned off.

To tell you the truth I hate power saving. I seem to have more problems with my OS if I do that. Anyways, I leave my puter on 24/7 and I don't use power saving at all. It isn't going to hurt anything just having it go all the time.

Take it easy! *:O)

Constantly having the HDDs turn off and on will do more damage than to keep them spinning all the time.
