BobPhoenix Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hmm, have you compared physical RDM vs virtual RDM? According to Flexraid's docs, the physical RDM can pass SMART info and can spin down: (but virtual RDMs can't) http://www.flexraid.com/2014/02/07/storage-deployment-vmware-esxi-iommuvt-d-vs-physical-rdm-vs-virtual-rdm-vs-vmdk/ Can't say that I have. Have always just followed the Atlas thread to RDM drives but Johnm did mention physical. I have seen posts that suggest some of the info is available with physical but not sure how much or if spin down with unRAID works. Quote Link to comment

Won't be able to continue until I'm back from my trip this Sunday though. Thanks for the info so far Quote Link to comment
