TS-653 Pro Disks Never Go Into Standby

VillageGuy · Post by **VillageGuy** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 4:44 am

I have spent many hours trying to understand why my QNAP TS-653 Pro will no longer spin down the drives and go into standby and failed miserably in spite of googling common problems. I have disabled almost everything I can but to no avail.

Hopefully some kind soul can help me resolve the situation with the help of the test results below which mean very little to me. I first of all followed the QNAP proposal for testing what is accessing the drives and then I installed and ran blkdevMonitor for additional information. Alas the results mean little to me but hopefully will to someone else. I have copied the results from both applications below:

Disks all have the system partitions on it..they will not aleep anymore

VillageGuy · Post by **VillageGuy** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 3:28 pm

Thanks for the advice
I don't recall ever changing partition configuration and as I recall I never experienced this issue before. To be honest I would not know how to change the partition config!
Is it an easy fix?

That is done by the QNAP automatically, the user has no influence on this

VillageGuy · Post by **VillageGuy** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 8:49 pm

Does this mean that Standby mode is no longer supported by QNAP then?

dolbyman · Post by **dolbyman** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:37 pm

Its supported but because of this config, not possible

Many people have tried, few, if any, have had success.

Fortunately, the NAS and the HDDs are designed to be running 24/7. In many circumstances, it can actually be better to not sleep.
