Is it safe to put harddisks

I have a home-fileserver with 6 desktop harddisks in a md-raid. The server isn't accessed a lot, so I think it would be good for the harddrives to go in standby-mode after some idle time (e.g. with the hdparm -S or hd-idle command).

Is this safe when using mdadm or could this cause errors/degraded harddisks?
