Ok so I'm looking to build my first htpc/nas heres what I have in mind. I know that sounds counterproductive but I would like to incorporate my whs with my htpc. I was thinking about running the os off of an ssd and the storage off of the hdd. I have 3 hdd ranging in size from 3tb to 1tb from a whs that I was looking to incorporate into this system. I was wondering if it would be possible to spindown or sleep the hdd while no data is needed while keeping the htpc running off of the ssd? This is what I was thinking for parts. I want to be able to do bluray, 3d, hd audio and also stream 1080p
