Individual disks no longer spin down since update
Hi, I have my NAS (RN104) setup as JBOD with 4 disks. Before the update, only the disks that were in use were spun up. (I dont use apps or snapshots so most of the disks were down most of the time) ...
Ok.. well they are spinning down individually but it seems alot longer than the time set. Also I think they are spinning up randomly..
Which firmware are you running? 6.6.0?
Hi, yes its 6.6.0.
It maybe a windows issue as before I didn't get a file list in windows explorer without the drive spinning up but now i do and It only spins up when accesing a file or sub-folder of a share.
You might want to take a look at e.g. Readynas OS 6.6 drives won't spindown
