You probably meant 3 power cycles a day.

What is your spin-down time? I use the following on my server's fstab:

     UUID="abcd" /data btrfs defaults,noauto,compress=zstd,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=1min,x-systemd.idle-timeout=30min

Oops. Yes, an average of 3 cycles per day, not per year!

I have the spin down timeout set to 20 minutes. But this is a desktop PC with intermittent usage (and different usage patterns over the years). They used to be in a RAID1+0 but now they're JBOD and I use them as scratch drives for random stuff.
