USB Disk Spin down issue
Hey Folks -
Since upgrading from 4.1.6 -> 4.1.7 on my NV, the Maxtor external USB HD attached via one of the rear external USB ports on my NV no longer spins down when the disk isn't being actively utilized for a backup.
I found the below thread, but there is nothing outside of an update to the post by the poster saying he/she had reverted to 4.1.6.
Anyone else having/noticed this issue?
Anything that can be done to correct? I don't want to revert.
Thanks,
Jesse

- I have just installed a Duo with FreeAgent drive, I have the same issue with the same firmware?
Is there a way to get the disk to spin down? - I have this same problem on a PRO 4 running 4.2.17... the external drive just keeps spinning 24/7.
