Interesting, i didn't know about glacier.
The theory of hard drives being shut off/ powered on dynamically in a rack sounds intriguing. Sounds simple and yet difficult because of the rare usecase, i.e. no commodity hardware available. Maybe something to test out for colo backups to keep power usage down and prolong disk health.
