After: ~1,337 days, 271 releases, 78,000 stars on GitHub, 1,558 contributors, 31,500 members on Discord, 36,000 members on Reddit, 68 languages on Weblate, Surviving the controversial announcement about joining FUTO, Having overwhelming success and support from the community with the product keys model, Launching the Merch store, Attending our first FOSDEM, ...and before the release of GTA VI We are thrilled to announce the stable release of Immich! 🎉

I'm really excited about such a large project adopting semver! I never got the trend for software without a need for rapid release cycles adopting purely time-based version numbers.

Spinning up and down puts parts under more stress than simply spinning constantly, assuming vibrations are minimal. Basically repeated changes in velocity are bad for mechanical parts, compared to just spinning at a constant rate.

Hard drives are so variable and failures so unpredictable, I bet you can't find that information. Most of the actual data about hard drive failures, like Backblaze's reports, are for drives that don't spin down.

That said, spin-down has always been used for saving power, not drive lifetime. I would generally assume spinning down never extends lifetime. Even in the case of an external hard drive you plug in once a month - it is very likely going to fail earlier than the drive spinning 24x7.

Also, I wouldn't shy from keeping the database on the same, fast storage as the OS, even if that's flash. Move to an external SSD when you can. HDDs have such long seek times.

Very much true. I installed Immich on my dads Synology for him and compared to my own setup at home the speeds are abysmall (it even crased a few times during the first indexing and ML run). I suspect a major part is that the whole os runs on an hdd.

If you put the database on an sd-card just ensure you make frequent backups somwhere else. I wouldn't trust flash storage to keep my data safe.

It is worse for life expectancy.
