How to solve the problems of slow data access, hard disk hibernation and wake-up failure of TDAS devices?

Post by TMzethar »

What to do if your TDAS device experiences issues such as slow data access, hard drive going into hibernation without reason and the hard drive failing to wake up?

Fault Phenomenon:
When a Windows or a Mac is in normal use, the TDAS is slow in accessing data, goes to hibernation without cause, or has the problem in waking up.

Fault Cause:
The TDAS device has the hibernation function along with the computer's system. When receiving the hibernation command issued by the computer's system, the hard disk of the TDAS device enters hibernation. Therefore, the TNAS may have the problems of responding slowly or going to hibernation without cause.

Troubleshooting:

Windows:

Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings > Hard Disk - Expand “Hard disk and Turn off hard disk after”, change the value to “0” and click “OK”.
