April 7, 201115 yr Hello Everyone! I just stood up a new unraid 4.7 server about 2 weeks ago and I'm very impressed with its rather ease of setup and the amount of information not only from Lime tech but the entire community provides. My server has a bunch of different drives in it and what I've noticed is the single WD20ears that I have never seems to spin down yet all the other disks do.. I tried a few different search topics but didn't find anything. HP Microserver 4 gb ram Parity Hitachi 2tb Storage Hitachi 2tb, WD20EARS 2tb, Samsung 2tb (firmware has been upgraded) Cache Seagate 250gb
April 7, 201115 yr Something I have done, that you could at least test with. If you load up unMenu, one of the headings in there in myMain which has tons of info. You can also see in there if your disk is spinning or not. If it is, you can click the "spinning" icon and it will manually spin down the drive. That way you could at least test if it responds to a spin down commmand. Shawn
April 7, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the suggestion. I reviewed what you had mentioned and I believe I made a mistake. I guess I got used to seeing the * for temp when the drive is idle. For some reason the WD20 continues to provide temp reading when it's spun down unlike the other drives. Basically i treated them as one in the same and they are not. Live and learn. Thanks again.
