I'm still seeing problems with HDD drives not going into sleep mode, does anyone else have the same problem? Check whether you have turned off the following.

1. Disk sleep still doesn’t work.

The updates worked perfectly on the first attempt on both NAS units, but sleep mode still isn't working.

Even in the final version, the hard drive sleep function doesn't work for me.

Regarding the hard drive sleep mode, support instructed me to send in my log files, which I did. These showed that I had two system hard drives. Following support's instructions, I deleted one of them, leaving only one system hard drive. However, neither NAS device is entering sleep mode.

The update to the F4-425 went smoothly. However, the hard drives are once again not going into sleep mode with this version. This worked fine with TOS version 7.0.0601. Also on F2-221. Yes, I've just noticed the HDDs in my F2-425+ are still clunking away. I'll try disabling HDD sleep then re-enabli...

You can use the `hdparm -Y` command to put the hard drive into hibernation mode.

Additionally, you can use the following command to confirm who is waking the hard drive: `blktrace -d /dev/sdX -o - | blkparse -i -`

However, this information must be entered again after a restart.
