Sounds like a decent project! My pi-nas has been running quite well for me for 
about a month solid now, maybe longer. I had to do a little jank/hackery to get

good for network storage when you need them up all the time lol.

Was quite simple to fix though, just a cron job to periodically read the disks 
so that they wouldn't go into sleep mode (every 5 mins)... still haven't 
figured out yet if there's a "proper" way but then haven't really had the time 
to look in depth.

Here's my janky script;

#!/usr/bin/env bash
LOG=/var/log/read_disks.log
for DISK in /dev/disk/by-id/usb-External_USB3.0_DISK0*; do
  dd if=$DISK of=/dev/null count=1 skip=$RANDOM >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  && echo "$(date) [ OK] $DISK" >> $LOG  \
  || echo "$(date) [ERR] $DISK" >> $LOG
done

Don't judge, it works =)
