Western Digital don't "spin down"


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've mixed configuration of disk... internal + USB and 3*Seagates + 3*WD.

 

When I press "Spin down", all Seagates spin down, but all the WD still have a green orb.

 

hdparm result for Seagate:

/dev/sda:
SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 15 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
 drive state is:  standby

 

hdparm result for WD:

/dev/sde:
SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  f0 00 01 00 50 40 ff 0a 80 00 00 00 00 1d 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
 drive state is:  unknown

 

It seems to be a smart issue with DW drives. Is there a fix, how I can obtain the correct value for the WD drives?

USB NOT recommended for array or pools

Yeah... I know about that. Even that isn't recommended, it still works for my usecase very well. I've a internal 2TB NVME Cache, which is basicly used and the Mover pushes the files to the Array with USB HDD's from time to time.

 

Like I said, only the Standby handling with all my WD's (different Types) wont go to sleep (or can't provide the correct status).

Maybe that's a known issue or even it's not unRAID related.

This is the result of "hdparm -I /dev/sdc" for a 3,5" WDC Drive. At least power management seems to be supported. While this is a older drive, it also doesnt work on newer WD drives.
