Still no news?
it's incredible, all this time and lot of firmware updates, and the problem is not resolved.
This is a basilar function, not asking for the moon!

I have the RN214 with the OS 6.8.0 which has still the issue that wakes up after 1min that the disks have been spinned down.

The problem seemed to go away in 6.62 or something like that.
But it is back in 6.7x and 6.8.
I gave up already. just disabled the spindown function as with this problem the spindown function is basically useless and age your hard drive much quicker.
netgear, I just want a NAS that works efficiently and reliably, without your stup*d featured app.
is it that hard ? ffs.
