I have bought a Linksys NSLU2 network attached storage device and need to kit it out with a silent hard drive with persistent auto spin down capabilities.
My current choices are Samsung SP2514N (250GB) or Maxtor 6L250R0/6L300R0 (250GB/300GB) but can find no definiate answer on whether these are silent drives and they support spin down after idling for N minutes?
Performance is not the key factor as it is restricted by the NSLU2 it is the noise level (in a silient room it should not be heard) and reliability. For reference I am also considering an Icy Box 351U Black enclosure.
Can anyone confirm which hard drives support spin down after idle and the application used to set this parameter?
Thanks
