Walter S Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I was considering replacing my parity drive with a WD Red NAS 3TB drive, and saw a post that stated WD RED's by default do not spin-down (?) Well that's one of the main reasons I switched from WHS to unRAID. The question is, If my unRaid is set to spin-down all drives at the 30 minute mark will the WD Red NAS drives NOT spin-down? Does anyone have any experience with these highly rated drives? Link to comment
archedraft Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 My 3TB WD RED spins down just fine every hour. Link to comment
maulu5 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 All 3 of mine spin down at 15 minutes without issues. Link to comment
trurl Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just added one to my array a couple of days ago. Spins down just fine for me. Link to comment
Walter S Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thank you gentlemen, I thought it was a bit odd, I read it in the Hard Drive section forum. Any-way thanks. Link to comment
