Hello,
Just got my first NAS drive few days ago (Linkstation Live, firmware 1.10) and now I got some questions for you :)
1. My drive does constant read/write noise (a very short burst every 1-4 seconds) even when all computers are turned off on my network. Why is this, is it normal or something I should worry about?
2. HDD Spindown option: I haven't seen or heard it spindown at all even though I have enabled this feature. Could this have something to do with Q#1?
3. If I have the power switch set to 'auto', is there any way to wake up the drive remotely (through internet) to access files? If not, it's disappointing especially when the spindown function isn't working. Basically means that if I want to access it remotely I'll have to keep the drive always on - which feels like a stupid thing to do since more than 50% of the time its function would be heating my apartment.. Not very eco-minded like it says on the box.
Other than these, I'm very happy with my purchase, and the backup software that came with it seems like a good product too.
