xreyuk Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hi, I have an M2 NVME Drive, and a SATA SSD connected for a cache drives. If I click spin down now or use the default spin down timer on the SATA SSD, the grey icon appears next to it like it has 'spun down' which I thought was impossible with SSDs. Can anyone advise if this is an issue and what's going? Quote Link to comment

I am planning on using the SATA SSD purely for Plex appdata - Would I see a noticable impact to Plex if I allow this drive to enter it's low power state and wait for it to 'spin up'?

No idea, but I suspect not. Quote Link to comment
