One HDD seems to be running continuously

  • Have a PI4 setup running latest OMV. Have 2 different HDD's attached. One is a 16TB Seagate that seems to run constantly, even if nothing is using the data on it. I am concerned it is going to simply wear it out running so much. It doesn't do it when connected to a PC or router. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? I bought it just for the OMV setup.

  • Seagate have a drive utility for Windows that allows you to set spindown time. So move the drive to a Windows machine then move it back.
