HD Suspending

Post by rk3 »

It looks like my internal HD get nerve suspended. I have the AS-606T with 4 Western Digital WD30EFRX 3 TB configured with RAID 5. After the HD initialization and synchronization the power consumption is now around 40 Watt (~20 Watt for the HD`s and ~20 Watt for the system). My expectant is that when the system is inactive for some time (for test reasons I configured 5 minutes in the energy settings) it will suspend the HD`s. But this is never happen. I need to configure something special or is this a Bug?

Thanks
Ralf

2. Does disk hibernation set correctly?
By default, hard disk(s) will enter hibernation mode if there is no access within 30mins.
Please go to [ Settings ] --> [ Hardware ] --> [ Disk ]

Already thanks for you support.
Related to your questions:
1. Yes it is the latest version 1.0.4.RBU2
2. for test reasons I changed the value to 5 minutes for internal but also external disks
3. It is a Linux system so there is always something running. I installed UPNP, git, iTunes, Node.js and Pex.

Thanks
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

We have tested it again with installed UPNP, git, iTunes, Node.js and Pex on NAS.
And it comes out the hard disks do enter hibernation mode in 5 mins.
Please let us know how did you check if the HD is suspending or not.

Many thanks,
