> I'm running ataidle on my personal server to save electricity. saving your drive instead of electricity is much more economic. all drives prefers running in stable environment - like being up 24h/day. average drive takes <10Watts , so it's <90kWh/year. in Poland it's about 30PLN/year, assuming your drive is down half time you will save 15PLN/year which is about six US dollars :) much less that increased chance of drive failure.
