It spun my drive on the first run and reported that device is in sleep mode (it was). 3rd run after a few minutes:

After setting it to 0 the drives are not spinning up anymore! It was right under my nose... I'm so stupid. Thanks a lot!

Same thing happens in maintenance mode, drives spin up few minutes after manually spinning them down. It seems that SMART checks are disabled on USB devices automatically, at least logs don't show that there are any. I can't change anything in SMART settings (checkboxes reset back to this if I try to change anything) and I also can't find where can I set SMART polling?

Hi! I'm new to this, so maybe somebody could point me to the right direction. I have array with 2 external usb hard drives for storage and 1 ssd for cache. I don't have any parity drives. Yes, I guess I'm using Unraid wrong. Yes, external usb drives are bad, but it is what it is. Sorry in advance. Setting up spindown delay using web gui does nothing. I just get "spinning down /dev/sdx" message in system log and that's it. Manually pressing spin down array button works fine and I did manage to get spindown delay to work by setting up "hdparm -S 244 -B 127 /dev/sdx" in go file. Status on all drives still shows as "Active" after spin down, I'm guessing that's because of weird power management in usb drives? But there's another issue. Whenever drives are spun down manually or by hdparm they spin back up again after a few minutes. That is what I've been trying to figure for the past few days. Most of the older threads are about dockers and plugins accessing drives in the background or misconfigured cache etc. I found this thread that is somewhat similar to my case, but I'm too noob to understand everything from there and the "dirty hack" didn't fix anything for me. Or this thread for unassigned drive with no answers. I tried fresh installs with different Unraid versions 6.9.1, 6.9.2 and currently 6.10.0-rc4. I tried to use tools like Active Streams, File Activity and Open Files - nothing seems to access the array drives but it still spins up. If I clear stats on the main page of gui there are 0 reads and writes on all the drives in the array for hours, even after the hdparm spins them down and drives wake up again in circles. I'll attach screenshots of my drive/share setup. Any tips where should look to fix this?
