Added support for spindown of USB disks - OS 6.5

The release notes for OS 6.5 say

21. Add support for spindown of USB disks

Where is the UI to access this functionality?  (I was expecting to find it in System->Power->Disc Spin-down)

 

Aside: how can I tell from the UI if the discs in the main unit are currently spun-up or spun-down?  (I note sometimes the front panel says "disks sleeping" but can't see where in the UI this info is displayed)

  • The same settings used for the internal disks should apply to the external disks.

     

    The logs show when the disks spin down and back up again.
