  1. How to put HD to sleep?


    Hi, I bought by accident a NAS HD for my desktop internal and it will not go idle sleeping no matter the settings in Windows. Is there a trick to make that happen?


    option 1: Preferably like after f.e. 15 minutes it goes to sleep and when it is asked for through windows explorer it will wake up again. So it would behave like my normal internal hard drives.


    option 2: Alternatively the process goes manually: disconnect and later reconnect.


    Thanks for an answer!

    :)
