How to check that the HDDs are spinned down?
Hi there, how can I control, that the HDDs are really spinned down, if the NAS is not in use? The fan is much louder than the HDDs so I can't hear this.

You'll need to download your logs (status > logs > download all logs), extract the zip contents and look in daemon.log. There will be entries in there regarding the disks "spinning" if the disks are spinning down and up.
