  1. Just to update I did manage to get the constant spining to work but unfortunately anything I access information from the drive pool all disks spin up. So it doesn't look like drivepool is going to be suitable for me this time but I will keep it in mind for future use. Thank you to everyone who helped me!
  2. @VapechiKThanks again for the additional info, sadly didn't have time today to have a go at the fix but will have time tomorrow. I do really appreciate your help and I'll let you know how it goes!
  3. @VapechiK Thanks for your replies and advice, I will work through your suggestions tomorrow when I have time, I really appreciate your response and the links I should be able to get somewhere with all that information🙂 @Shane Thank you that is all very useful to know. I am not sure if DrivePool will be suitable if all the disks are spinning up for each access but I will try and resolve the sleep issue first and then test to see how it works out with Plex.
  4. I am currently trying to set up a external storage (3 x 8TB Drives one as Parity using SnapRaid) in a TerraMaster D4-300 for my plex media files and have downloaded StableBit DrivePool to trial it. It seems great but when it runs on my PC (Windows 11 Pro) none of my drives ever sleep. As I don't really want my drives on all the time due to heat, noise and energy costs I'd like for the disks to power down when not in use after 15 minutes or so. I did read other people with this complaint and one suggestion was to turn off Bitlocker but I am not using Bitlocker. Another suggestion was to use a utility called hdparm to set power off times for each individual disk but I can't find a windows download for this as it appears to be a Linux utility. My Media server gets light use and ideally I would like for the disks to spin down when not in use then for the individual drive in use to spin up when a media file is accessed from the Plex server which runs from my Windows 11 PC. Any advice on how to get the disks to sleep while the DrivePool service is running would be great.
