April 9, 20224 yr Hi all, Hope you are well. I have started spinning down my drives after 30 mins when not in use to try to save power. But I have noticed that 1 drive (a Toshiba 4TB) is having read errors, when spun down. I tried to run a movie from it to see if it would spin back up, but it seemed to struggle and the errors increased from 5 to 37. I have run a self-test and it is fine. I have attached the diagnostics, any help would be appreciated. Thanks fred-diagnostics-20220409-0606.zip

April 9, 20224 yr Author Thanks for your reply @JorgeB. I have run an extended SMART test and it completed without error. I have disabled spindown on that drive. Thanks again. Edited April 9, 20224 yr by Theldron
