[AccessD] OT: Virtual PC 2007

Hi Lembit

Perhaps you could use Windows as the host OS for the NAS and then
adjust power savings to spin down the harddrives when not in use?
Or, of course, use the new and evolving solid state hard"drives" ...

thank you, Gustav,
I'm more worried about the lifetime of the HDs than the power
consumption.
MTBF would go to 1/3 when I go from 8 to 24 hours per day

Hi Lembit

Yes, leave it running at all times. To care for power consumption you
may choose to equip it with 2½" harddrives.

I could put all the data on the NAS, but then I would have to turn the
NAS on each time I turn the PC on, ..
