From my experience, having drives spin up and down a lot reduces their lifetime. If you do decide to have them spin down you might want to check out tmpfs(5)().
Power consumption might be more effectively managed with powerd() and having your monitor(s) turn of when not is use.
I managed to get atacontrol working, but everytime it went to sleep - it took 5 seconds and came back to life. So this is no longer a viable option for me.
