Network Drives Vanishing

I'm facing an odd issue here (which I assume is caused by a power saving feature or something), but if I don't access a network drive for a bit it'll simply vanish. One way the drives reappear is if I open the admin control panel, at which point all drives will appear once again. I've kept all power saving settings to default. I am using a ReadyNAS 102

 

Thanks!

    Which version of Windows are you running?

    So you aren't using power saving features such as disk spin-down?

      I am using Windows 7. I've included an image of my power settings below :)

        Which services and apps are you running on the ReadyNAS?

        Which firmware are you running?

  • For future reference, the issue was Windows. I did what the answer said here and it's all sorted.
