As many external HD's connected to the router will probably do nothing most of the time it would be nice to be able to spin-down the HD in these periods.

Because the HD is recognised as a SCSI drive, it would be interesting to include the 'SCSI idle' package to either the firmware or as an external package.

As of yet I don't have any experience in creating customized firmware using Linux, so I'm asking someone else (I'm not mentioning anyone perticular ;-) ) to do the hard work. I will volunteer to do the nessesary testing
