I posted this note on another thread, but just to close the loop here, I am copying my note...
I wanted to point out that I am in the process of upgrading to a Pro6. I am running RAIDiator 4.2.17.
I am currently playing with the device, understanding permissions and backup configurations. During my discovery, I can report that the USB spin down issue appears to be fixed. I am not sure if this is due to hardware, linux distribution or something that Netgear addressed. But I connected the same HDD that fails in my NV, formatted it and then completed a backup. I leave the configuration alone, for various amounts of time up to 12 hours, and whenever I start a backup to the USB it seems to work.
Would it be possible to get this code into the NV/Sparc line?
Thanks!
