Hi,   Hot spare hard drives will remain in standby mode, in that term, it would be "powered on, but not spinning". Here's a reference: [URL]   Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi, If I specify a drive as a "hot spare" is that going to be spinning, or just powered on, but not spinning? Drive will be in a T610 that currently has a Perc 6/i.   I *assume* that it will be spinning, but I just want to be sure. TIA  
Hot spare -- spinning, or not?
