Great idea @Squid about the SSD. I actually had one in there before but the size was small. Thanks again for your help and @trurl's. I will monitor that things will continue to work fine and then close this thread with a solution found.

Thanks, SQUID! So there is no solution to get the CACHE DRIVE to Sleep when PLEX is running (I have PLEX running all the time). Cheers!

Thanks for your message and my apologies - there was a file sitting in my CACHE drive waiting to be copied over early morning when my MOVER is automatically invoked. So I had clicked MOVE manually under ARRAY OPERATION. UPDATE - So after INITIALLY invoking MOVE and disabling DOCKER and VM MANAGER as described above... I rebooted and then enable DOCKER and VM MANAGER and ran PLEX and eventually all the drives went to sleep EXCEPT for the CACHE DRIVE that remained with the GREEN status. I just DISABLED VM MANAGER and DOCKER again clicked MOVE under ARRAY OPERATION. I have attached the NEW DIAGNOSTICS. (please note I cliecked SPIN DOWN and all the drives are asleep - for now). ALSO - I am not sure why the CACHE DRIVE has three (3) FOLDERS remaining: appdata, domains, system Thank you again for your kind reply and time! titan-diagnostics-20221231-0955.zip

Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I am a NEWBIE with respect to UNRAID but am trying to understand. I MOVED the file that I had in my CACHE and then DISABLED Docker and VM Manager. I rebooted and updated my PLEX. Will keep you posted. Thank you1

Hello All, Firstly I hope I am posting in the correct Forum and apologize in advance if this is not the case. Basically the issue is that two of my drives don't go to sleep (spin down), even after a reboot. I have attached my Diagnostics file in hopes it helps. Particulars of my system are: VERSION: 6.11.5 INSTALLED APPS: Community Applications and PLEX DRIVES: 16 + Parity DRIVES NOT SLEEPING: Parity and Disk 2 It appears to be reading and writing to these two drives. Even if PLEX is not running they still don't go to sleep. They'll wake up after about a minute. Even if I click "SPIN DOWN" they'll go to sleep and then wake again. NOTE: Even though PLEX is set to AUTOSTART it doesn't start automatically on rebooting - not sure if this has anything to do with it. I noticed the behaviour stating after one of my drives failed and I replaced it and also changed my PARITY DRIVE to a larger one. I have done both of these things before so am pretty sure I did them right. titan-diagnostics-20221230-1013.zip
