November 24, 20232 yr I want to enable Scan my library automatically in Plex so that I don't have to keep refreshing (or set it to periodic) but I was wondering if this is going to keep my media disks spun up all the time if it is doing an automatic scan. Is this the case? Or will they still spin down with this on?
November 24, 20232 yr Solution Under the Scan Automatically tick on plex it says "Your library will be updated automatically when changes to library folders are detected." Mine does not stay spun up. If your have the plex appdata on the array it will keep the disk(s) it is located on spun up.

That was my concern that automatic meant it would need to spin up and scan all the time but if they do not then that is good news. My appdata is on the cache so that is all good
