July 12, 20232 yr Community Expert Hi, the title says it all 😁 With some disks ("historically grown") in the array the folders for media files are quite widely spread. When I try to add a new movie/episode I use a program for scraping infos and pics from the net, renaming the files accordently and arranging a nice folder structure. But of course, when I lauch the scraper, most or all drives are spun down and it takes ages to wake them up one by one. You never know if the next mouse click will give you another 30s of waiting time or if you can continue smoothly. This can drive you crazy if many disks are envolved. So it would be nice to send some kind of command "WAKE UP YOU LAZY DISKS!" ahead of the startup of the scraper (which also takes a minute to launch and loading its database). But sadly, I don't know such a command and my search here also did not yield something usable (yet?) Can somebody pls enlight me?

For instance the GUI offers a "wakeup" button, we just need a way to press it remotely
