I have taken steps to ensure nothing touches the spinning rust except access to the shared folders on the spinning rust.

@SteveKo Can we do something about this?
I understand I’m not fully supported in my quest to sleep my HDDs when not in use. But I did try hard to keep EVERYTHING on the M.2s and only have my spinning rust for cold bulk storage.
I idled at like 6.5watts when the drives were sleeping.
Why have this setting? You have changed the way the OS works so it is literally impossible for the drives to sleep. EVER.
