I have two Stora's. One sleeps, the other does not. I don't know where this is controlled. The one that doesn't has 2 ED Red 2T drives set up in mirroring mode. I feel like it used to sleep but now doesn't. Could it be because I set a schedule for the unit to reboot itself once a week? Anyway, I worry that the drives are constantly running and will not last. Thanks.
I have the same propblem. In another thread, someone suggested it started after he/she started with backups to external drive. I have the feeling the problem started before i started with backups but not sure.
Also, the disks are workig a lot all the time, even when i don't use the stora.
I formatted the disks (mirror-raid) and copied the content into them again, but they still kept on working all the time without stop.
I hard reset the stora. Then the disks stopped working continously (but they still work fine) But the stora still does not go into sleep mode after 15 minutes. (The content is still on the stora after the hard rest).
The conclusion is at least that a hard reset fixed most of my problems but not the sleep problem.
Also when i unplug the ethernet cable from the stora, it does not go to sleep after 15 min. Do anybody know if a fully functinal stora would go to sleep without LAN or if it would not?
After formatting the disks, the stora did still not go into sleep
Then i reset the device, then it did go into sleep, but when i added the non-admin user accound the trouble started. I copied some hundreds of data back onto the NAS. I use mirror raid. Now it does not go into sleep, but maybe it just needs another week to settle.
I am not sure if the formatting was necessary, but it was at least not sufficient to enable sleep mode again. Anyway, Formatting and hard resetting the Stora seemed to make it work perfectly normal again, including being able to sleep again.
But after finishing copying one terrabyte of data into it, it needs many days before the disks in the nas starts to calm down.
Can someone please tell me what it's doing? Does it first copy all data onto one disk, and then use the next days to copy it to the other HDD? Or is it doing indexing or something else?
The activity of the NAS is not because i use it. Also when i unplug it from the network, it's still highly active.
I have no backup schedules. The external disk was disconnected after copying files to the stora
But it seems that after some days, the activity in the nas slowly reduces. But it still does not go into sleep mode. And the activity of the NAS seems to never stop completely. The light flashes at least every second. What process is running and causing this???
