I remember reading somewhere on here that if you use WMC it will spin up all of your hard drives regardless if what you are watching/listening is on it.

 

Is there a way around this?

 

Thanks in advance

Directory Caching is probably the only solution unRAID side

Can you please explain what you mean?

do a search on "ls -r" 

Ahh, I don't think that is the problem that I have.

 

I think that WMC stores a file on all of the hard drives and reads it every time I use it. Normally my HD's do not spin up when I am reading files across the network, only in WMC.
