NAS power settings

Post by djtron »

Hi, I'm using my NAS for home and usually turn on from late afternoon up to midnight on weekdays and turning it on as needed. Are my settings below ok and will not impact the NAS and hard drive's lifespan and reliability (no bad blocks)?

1. Disk hibernation on internal and external hard disks are set to 15 minutes.

2. Sleep mode (S3 suspend to RAM if no data access) at 30 minutes. Only allowed to enter sleep mode from midnight to late afternoon when my NAS is off.

3. Is it safe from fire to always plugged in the ac adapter to the wall socket all the time? I set the NAS automatically to turn on from late afternoon and turn off at 11pm.

4. Will powering on the nas on certain hours in a day ok or is it better to turn it powered 24x7?

5. What is the suggested time period to not power off the nas if you will use it later? Say if I turn it off at 12noon but I will use it in 3pm (3hours)? 6pm (6hours)? 11pm (11hours).

6. Is it recommended to log off automatically inactive users? If yes, how many hours?

Thank you.
