Putting drives to sleep reduces their lifespan? I thought it was some calculus involved where if they were offline for long enough to offset the cost of the spinup during a time period it was fine. Either way I have an unraid server with 6 disks being put to sleep after 4 hours inactivity and been running that for years. Have had to replace 2 pre owned drives and 1 new WD red that was under warranty in several years.

The video in the post mentions that Blomberg has their own coverage of Nvidia GPUs and the black market which obviously isn’t as detailed and probably gets information wrong and they certainly want to silence this true reporting of the facts.
