Surely this has been asked hundreds of times but I am looking for a conclusive list of what sort of tests/tweaks I should use for my new home server. Right now I am just at the defaults and am having trouble finding guidance.
Scrubs are defaulted to every 35 days, I assume this is sufficient.
SMART is not set by default, what is a proper schedule of long vs short tests?
HDD Standby/spindown is not set by default, what is something that makes sense for WD Red drives? I am not able to predict my usage apart from not using the system while sleeping. Not all too concerned about power consumption (which is already low) but rather getting the most life out of the drives.
Anything else I should consider?
