Why would hard drives keep wake-up and will not spin down?

Last modified date: 2020-09-17

Applied models:

All NAS Series

Applied Firmware:

All version

The following can keep NAS hard drives from spinning down:

Several QNAP services (Download station, Music Station, etc.) can enable regular jobs that always wake up hard disks from spindown. Check the configuration of these services, if they are activated.
Automatically synchronizing QNAPs NAS time with an internet time server can wake hard drives.
System daemon is running for RAID management (synchronizing).
