@PCPiranha,
Ahhh, good point, conflicting 'shutdown states' would make sense. I guess that's why our Terastation III's/ PRO's have Auto/Manual and not shutdown. Didn't even think of that, thanks!
@Original Poster,
PCPiranha makes a good point, remote shutdown might interfere w/ the behavior of the button on the back that has an OFF position which might explain why they removed it. I know there was a thread for Linkstation feature requests, might try putting your request there.
