Server Version#: 1.40.1.8227  
Player Version#: Not Relevant

Hey there,

So I am running Unraid 6.12.8 with Plex running the latest Docker version. I am using the official image and not the Linux Server or Binhex version.  
I have Unraid set to sleep all drives at 15 mins of no use. However, I’ve noticed and reported by other users that the official Plex docker image does not all all the drives to spin down. It constantly pings Disk 1 (as well as the parity drives) once every 1-2 seconds I would say, keeping 3 of my drives constantly awake.  
From some quick testing it seems that the Linux Server version does not do that and other users have reported the same thing.  
From what I can gather, the Plex Image has some sort of Docker Health check turns on that is causing the issue.  
Does anyone have a solution to make it stop doing that?

Thank you
