HDD spindown


vnguyenquangdo

Question

Good morning

 

This is not necessarily a question related to DrivePool itself, but in an attempt to reduce power consumption of my NAS running Server2012E, I tried to enable HDD spin down

 

To no effect I'm afraid:

- first I could not find the options in the control panel, as they are by default 'hidden'

- even after 'unhiding' them and changing the various options, the spindown does not seem to happen

 

As anyone been able to successufully use HDD spindown ?

 

thanks

 

Vincent

Are these drives in the pool? If so, you may want to change the frequency in which the drives are balanced (I'd recommend "immeidately", but "no more often than every 2-3 hours".

 

Also, Scanner may be able to help with that.

And there is a thread about that here:
