Power Consumption in OMV

Try a lower value than 30 minutes.

They should, but users had problems with values as high as 30mins and longer.

I set APM to 1 (Minimum power usage with standby (Spindown)), and timer set to 60min, works well, HDDs do spin down. So the statement "30 min seems to be bugged" only when APM set to 127?

Feel free to report it as a bug on the bugtracker: http://bugtracker.openmediavault.org

Hi Bavilo

If you're still around this forum, mind telling me how you were checking the power consumption? Via a software or an external hardware?

Cheer.

Hey guys,

Could it be that there is something wrong with the Power Management of HDDs in OMV?
I am measuring the Power Consumption in IDLE with 42W, no matter what I do.

Here are my system specs.

1x Pentium G3220 CPU
8GB Ram
1x SAMSUNG HD103SJ
2x 4TB WD RED
1x Sata Card

I feel like the HDDs are not spinning down...

APM - 127
Minimum Performace, Minimum Acoustic
Spindown 30
Write cache enabled

I have set my HDD to APM-1 - Minimum power usage with standby (spindown), with 5 minutes spindown time (as i am still in testing phase) and can hear the HDD spin down after 5 minutes.

Also, power consumption is reduced.

Thanks for the tip, I have changed it to APM-127 now.

Hey everyone, I'd also be interested in hearing this answer. Can we have a dashboard widget with power supply, with ideally monthly stats?
