TL;DR
Using a dynamic rotations per minute approach to speed control in server disk arrays can provide significant savings in I/O system power consumption without lessening performance.
Abstract
Although effective techniques exist for tackling disk power for laptops and workstations, applying them in a server environment presents a considerable challenge, especially under stringent performance requirements. Using a dynamic rotations per minute approach to speed control in server disk arrays can provide significant savings in I/O system power consumption without lessening performance.

The results demonstrate that conventional disk power optimizations that have been previously proposed and evaluated for single disk systems' (laptops/workstations) are not very effective in server environments, even if one can design disks than have extremely fast spinup/spindown latencies and predict the idle periods accurately.
