Hello All,
I have built a system encompassing 6 Western Digital hard disk drives and I want to be able to spin them down when they are inactive. I have setup FreeBSD on a complete ZFS filesystem with logs and caches being written to an SSD drive.
The model of all the hard drives is WDC WD2002FYPS-0 5G05.
Does anyone know of any tools I could use to access the drive's firmware to modify the settings?
I want to be able to let the drives power down and have the SSD write the cache/logs only when the drives come online.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time and help,
