July 20, 20214 yr Hi, when my unraid system is shutting itself down (e.g. after a certain time of inactivity) it first spins up every disc one after another. I would like to know if there is any way to shutdown the system without spinning up the discs? It is quite loud and unnecessary strain on longevitiy. Since I have the system in my living room and only boot it up to watch a movie ~once a week, it doesn't make much sense to me to keep it running. Thank you!

July 21, 20214 yr Unraid is meant to run constantly (imho). You should want unraid to run on a machine in the basement and let in run forever. In your living room, you want a "player" to make things like Netflix, Disney, and your "home" media work together. Don't use unraid as a media player. Happy to help if this is as clear as mud.
