Title: HD Spin down issue with firmware v1.01
Post by: bman on December 10, 2008, 12:22:22 PM

Having issues with the HDD power management with firmware v1.01.  The disks would spin down just fine with firmware v1.00 (WD 750GB in RAID 1).  I have reset the unit and double checked the settings.  Anyone else having issues?

Are you using UPNP or iTunes server?

Please try disabling the UPnP AV media server and see if you still have this issue.

I have turned UPnP off; I 95% sure the HDD have NOT spun down.  To add insult, the fan is STILL on @ 39degC system temp.  The main reason i updated to v1.01 firmware was for the advanced fan control.

Please help!

My drives are still on.  I'll keep my eye (ears) on it... thanks for bringing this up!

Ok, I realize the noise my dns-321 was making is not the drives, but the enclosure fan.  When I logged into the dns-321, the drives spun up.  The temperature reading of my drives are "93 F/ 34 C".  Looks like I'm not having issues with spindown.
