ReadyNAS OS 6.4 Set or Change Disk Spin-Down Allowing disks to slow or spin down when not being actively used can potentially save power and extend the life of the disks, but this can also slow effective read/write speeds and can make the disks appear to be off-line or cause time outs. To set or change the disk spin-down settings: 1. Log in to your ReadyNAS system. 2. Select System > Power. 3. If not already expanded, expand Disk Spin-down. 4. Select the Enable disk spin-down check box to enable spin-down, or, if it is enabled, clear the check box to disable it. 5. If spin-down is enabled, you can use the minutes of inactivity menu to select a delay of between 5 minutes and 45 minutes of inactivity before the disks spin down. 6. Click the Settings icon to open a calendar. Use the calendar to set the days and times in which spin-down is active.You can set, and the ReadyNAS server will remember, calendar settings whether spin-down is enabled or not.
