Recommended APM/acoustic/standby settings for ZFS

[iks]

Hi,

I have 5HDD raidz2 pool and I wonder what are the best Advanced Power Management, Acoustic Level and standby settings actually in general for ZFS pools.

Is it best to leave them disabled, since ZFS always needs to do some background tasks on your HDDs or is it OK to push them to reduced power usage and spindown after some time?

Thanks for answers and best regards,
iks

The consensus in these forums seems to be to leave those settings at their defaults.
