Plex is waking up my NAS drive every half hour

Server Version#: 1.25.5.5492
Player Version#: 4.69.1
Hi my drive in WD My Cloud Ex2 Ultra is not able to sleep as normal and it is being wakened up every half hour by Plex. By reading the log file I noticed the wake-up time aligns with the log “Sync: uploadStatus”, is there any way to stop this or increase the interval time? My drive is running hot because of no sleep… Thank you!

Is this not due to the setting for scanning for new media. Isn’t the default 30 mins? This can be changed in the plex settings.

The problem is even worse on my Asustor AS7004T server - it is using 25% of the CPU continuously today. The drives are running constantly - it has been doing this for 2 hours, with absolutely nothing being streamed or played. I had to stop the Plex server process completely, just so I can get some sleep :slight_smile:
