The Library of Alexandria has a copy of much of the web collection of the Internet Archive. They run their systems with a sleep after 3 minutes of inactivity setting. They report it works fine. In a separate test by Bruce Baumgart, he found it takes 9-10 seconds to spin a disk back up.

We have not done a large-scale test of this approach, but it sounds promising for many applications.

The petabox with spun-down disks would save 1/2 the power.

Question. You said 9 to 10 seconds to split a disk back up. I think of a basic windows 98 tower maybe a cd drive, I'm leaning more towards a floppy disc though. I don't know too much about those other than the endurance and reliability is unquestionable. As to the main question though, laser read or no?

I created a formula that not only corrects itself and regenerates memory, it adds 330 kb of memory for ever 8mg new data .. please reply. I need pointers on 2 missing pieces.. it is almost flawless...problem is it does not stop, and rather than regenerating or making new "cells" it just generates and becomes useless z, or xsv files empty and wasted though
