Actually, Comcast is rolling out the A30 update with the ability to spin down the internal and external drives automatically at 1:15am until a button is pressed, just like the Cisco/SA areas once had and will have again upon the S26 update.
According to the Western Digital tier 2 tech I work with, those expander drives are good for about 5 to 7 years of 24/7 use. In fact I have the original DVR expander (the one with the orange ring) from 2009 and still works perfectly. Just gave it away to an Aunt with FiOS and she's thrilled.
