RN314 drive spin down not working (6.2.3)
Hi, I've just got a brand new RN314 and updated to v6.2.3 (stock was v6.1.6) and cannot seem to get the disk spin down function working. I did some tests to see if the disks spin down, and despi...
I have done tests with browser closed and PC switched off also. My problem is that the disks do not appear to be spinning down at all.
With my previous NAS, I can audibly hear the disks powering off when spinning down and only fan for the NAS remains audible. And when then I try to access the disks, there will be a short delay while the disks spin up which is also audible.
With the RN314, I can see the LED displaying the message "waking disks" (or something to that effect) but access is immediate and there is no noticeable change in the disk spinning speed.
