Icewater,

what lights are lighted, dimmed, flickering after the prescribed time has elapsed on your power management?


I have tried different "sleep" times in the power management with no effects.
I have also tried unplugging the lan cable and they will still not sleep.
The "power" button is lighted and I can hear the hdd spinning. (forever... I have even left it overnight)
I can't remember exactly what other lights are flickering etc.. as I've been back to firmware 1.05 for awhile now.

This is a major issue for me.  Ever since upgrading to 1.06 my DNS-323 is on with the drives spinning most all of the time.  When I'm in the basement using the computer right next to it, I hear it spin up every now and then  even though no one is accessing it.  A major reason I bought the 323 is to save money.  Having it spin up like this for no reason defeats the savings.  I assumed this would be fixed in 1.08.  D-Link, are you really ignoring this problem???

I've three DNS 323s, bought at different times, identical disks, firmware and settings in each.  One refused to go to sleep, the others were ok.  Last night, updated to 1.07, no change.  Tried various other things as recommended on the thread, no luck.  The NAS was set to sleep at 10 minutes.  Changed the setting to 15 minutes and it worked!!!  Don't know why, but maybe it'll  help someone.

Tried it again with a new NAS, don't ask why, but it worked again, no problem with sleeping!

I looked at my email settings, email alerts also off. 

Clearly there is something wrong with the firmware, shouldn't be too hard for them to fix.

Im still running 1.05 because there still isn't a fix. Shame.

I wanted to buy to more bigger drives and build another box, but I'm not sure now thats a good option.

as far as the LEDs are concerned, does the main on/off switch LED dim down or does the HDD LED light turn off when the disk drives go to sleep?

The big square "logo" button will go dark or dim

RAID1 is for disk redundancy - NOT data backup - don't confuse the two.

hey thanks again fordem.   ;D

as i've mentioned on my other reply to you, now that i have the NAS i'm pretty much answering my own questiions.

i've read somewhere here that the drives don't go to sleep unless it's set for 15 minutes (1.7 FW).  well i guess that's true since i've tried the 5 and 10 minute intervals and the drives would not hibernate until i switched to 15 minutes.  no big deal i suppose, as long as they stay asleep until accessed again.
