power saving - A good idea

["Chris Mason" <chris@net.ai>]

I lost a hard drive on my firewall machine recently so I looked for ways to
conserve the drive. I enabled power saving(?) in the BIOS so that the IDE
spins down after 5 mins of inactivity. As it is the only machine on a lot of
the time, the HD is rarely used anyway.
Any downside to this, will it cause problesm? Three days in and the machine
seems fine.
