Hello, i have a Synology NAS DS220+ with latest Firmware. On this i have installed the latest Installation of Plex Server (1.30.2.6563-3d4dc0cce). I stream to my TV with Nvidia Shield 2019 also with latest Firmware and latest Version of Plex Player installed. Because i don’t stream so much i have set my Nas to go into Hibernation Mode after 10 Minutes. Before i had installed Plex Server on my NAS the Hibernation Mode worked very well. After installing Plex Server i can see in the Log Files of the NAS that probably Plex wakes it up ca every 30 Minutes. I’ve tested it yesterday evening. If i stop the Plex Package on the NAS everything is fine and the Hibernation mode works fine. No waking up in the Log Files. I don’t understand why, i’ve changed hopefully all necessary settings in Plex that could wake up my NAS. Like searching for new media and any kinds of protocols. I really like Plex and want to use it but this is really annoying and not really healthy for my HDD in the NAS when Plex force it wake up and start to spin the disc every 30 minutes… Do you have any idea what to do now?
This is how it is. You’re running an always-live server.
NAS-rated HDDs are designed to be always spinning.
For any HDD, you do more wear & tear with the OFF/ON/OFF cycles than leaving them spinning due to thermal cycling.
Best example I can give is
- When does a lightbulb burn out - When you turn it on or when left on constantly ?
So if i understand you correct there is no way to change it!?
No, there is no way to change or nothing to change. What you see is how it works.
My NAS drives spin constantly. I have some drives now with 40000+ hours on them
These are the drives in my new NAS. The NAS runs constantly.
