numerica

The way I have been determining it is by knowing what the box sounds like without mechanical drives and with. After putting the drives on stand-by, I see no reduction in noise.

/dev/sdf: SEAGATE ST3000NM0023 0003 Additional sense: Standby condition activated by command That's the output. Thanks for helping!

Hey Doron, Thank you for taking the time and making this plugin. I'm sorry if you've already answered this a million times. I've tried to look through the thread, but it's difficult to follow along. I have HP H240 HBA and Constellation ES.3 ST3000NM0023 drives. I have been following this plugin since you've released it last year and I know that ES.3s were a problem. I cried a little and then figured I'll be patient and see if there are any fixes in the future 😭😉 In 6.8.3 unRAID would never even pretend that the drives were spun down and in the log I would get that red/green zebra response that I've seen in this thread. In 6.9.1, with your plugin installed (v0.85), unRAID "spin downs" the drives, the drives make a weird noise, the green dot becomes gray, but the drives appear to still be spinning and making spinning noise. The weird thing is that if I try to access the drive that is "spun down" (and yet still spinning) it takes a couple of seconds for it to "wake up" and allow me access to the files within. Maybe I am misunderstanding what "spinning down" is, but I assumed that they would literally stop spinning. Also, I did check if the drives were the source of the noise and yes they are, everything else in the system is too quiet to make any audible noise when the side panel is on. Is there anything you can do to either help me troubleshoot or is it a lost cause? Thanks and sorry again if you've answered this before.
