Hybernate External HDD of PLEX

Hello,

Is there any way that I could set up my external Western Digital connected via USB to my NETGEAR X10 router to hybernate or sleep, while PLEX or other proceses from him are not used?

My HDD is a little bit noisy and I can hear it all day and all night spinning in my room.

Thank you!

Ps. Sorry for bad EN.

Unfortunately, there is no setting on the router that would make your external drive to put on hibernate/sleep when not in use.

You may just safely remove it.
