How many harddisks does it have?<br>
<br>
I have 8 disks, and I put them in "standby" mode as default, and
power them up only when I need them. One consequence of that is, on
shutdown, they power up and then go off. On boot, they power up and
then go "standby" mode. One by one. Yeah, booting takes long
time. It's okay for me, I just go outside for fresh air.<br>
