Is a home NAS a frequent spin up/down scenario though? I'd imagine you'd keep the drives spinning to improve latency and reduce spin-up count. Not that I own any spinning drives currently though - so that's why I'm wondering.

My drives are usually spun down because it's not used a ton. Everything runs off my SSD except data access, so unless there's a backup or I'm watching a movie or something, the drives don't MHD need to be spinning.

If I was running an office NAS or something, I'd probably keep them spinning, but it's just me and my family, so usage is pretty infrequent.
