I am having a similar problem.  I have tried both on and auto positions, but the drive powers itself off at random times.

 

The blue light still flashes.  I have to manually unplug and replug the device.  I have NAS2 running on all three computers on the network with it and am plugged in through the router.

 

Hostname: LS-XHL591 Product Name: LSXH2.0TL Firmware 1.10

Try this then reinit the unit.

Question:

 

Firmware 1.10 is the latest upgrade from what I can find.  What does reinstalling the same firmware upgrade do?

I started a checkdisk after i posted and its been going now close to 24 hours... should i wait for it to finish or pull the power and force firmware update.

That check disk can last up to 72 hrs.  I wouldnt suggest pulling the plug.  If there is corruption in the firmware and reflashing it didnt work then the force will debug it and not check the version.
