BlackHawk1942 Posted April 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2014 Hi @ all, I am on gnoboot 10.5 alpha / DSM 5-4458 update 1. If I can trust the protocoll of DSM my HDDs go into hibernation because if I log in after the hibernation time there is an entry "Internal disks woke up from hibernation" BUT I cant declare lower power consumption. Is that normal? I am unsing two WD Red 2TB in RAID1. Thanks for all effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htpcdude Posted April 8, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 8, 2014 What are you using to measure power usage? Most 3.5" hard drives need 3-5 watts when spun up so it's definitely measurable. Also, you should be able to hear a noise different from your hard drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokies Posted April 8, 2014 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2014 Hibernating HDDs intend to make your HDDs live longer. Hibernating the whole machine saves power. However, hibernating the whole machine is not available for most 4 bays or more NAS models, since most of these are designed for enterprise use and should be powered on all the time.

Also, you should be able to hear a noise different from your hard drives. I am using a device from "Brennstuhl" which is very good and still show up very small values and I trust it. This is why I am asking. Is it possible that these messages come up even if nothing happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only see these messages when HD hibernation is working and activity on the unit causes the internal disks woke up from hibernation message.

BlackHawk1942 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted April 11, 2014 Now it works. Don't know why but I think my system is a bit strange. There are some more problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
