    External HDD Sleep mode doesn't work anymore.

    I really don’t get why you take this so personally? It is not like I am trash-talking your sister or anything. There is a feature that does not work — I was reaching out to see if someone had found a solution or some fix; and all of a sudden everyone goes crazy defensive and I am an idiot for...

    External HDD Sleep mode doesn't work anymore.

    They made some changes in The firmware. Im sure with good reason. But a feature still in The firmware does no longer work. How is that not faulty? Im sure everything Else works happy-dandy … but this thread is not about all the stuff that works fine. It is about a very particular thing that use...

    External HDD Sleep mode doesn't work anymore.

    I am not sure I understand what you mean then. This is not a battle of whether netgear is better than ASUS — I simply pointed out that this disc would go into sleep mode just fine on the netgear router - thus the disc is certainly able to go into sleep mode. And what do you mean with “my wrong...

    External HDD Sleep mode doesn't work anymore.

    it is most definitly not the drive. I have used this exact drive in a netgear router — and it powered down just fine when inactive. I am using firmware 3.0.0.4.388.4_0 and also installed the Merlin version hoping for a fix. I have had a detailed discussion with “tech9” in another thread who...

    Attached HDD sleep-mode fix…

    I agree — just quoting other threads and what theories people were having b/c the issue seems oddly deliberate … or easily fixable if they wanted to

    Attached HDD sleep-mode fix…

    Allright. Thx for taking your time to cast some more light on the issue. Was hoping for some sort of quick-fix, but guess that won’t happen 😅 I was really frustrated with my old netgear nighthawk and happily changed to ASUS — only to run into this issue. Guess there is always something right ? 🙄

    Attached HDD sleep-mode fix…

    I hope so. But based on threads in this forum it probably will not be. Apparently it used to work a few years back … and now for more than a couple of years has no longer worked. (A couple of conspiracy theories about ASUS doing it on purpose to push consumers to more expensive dedicated...

    External HDD Sleep mode doesn't work anymore.

    Sorry to wake up and old thread — but I am struggling with this issue, and there seems to be no real solution for it. Do I understand you correctly, that this is fixed in the Merlin-firmware? …in any case I just installed the Merlin most recent firmware on my ASUS rt-ax86pro and the issue seems...

    Attached HDD sleep-mode fix…

    I use the hdd maybe twice a week for a couple of hours. It seems silly to have it running 24/7. Also the sound is annoying. I understand that people who like their discs running constantly don’t see this as a problem … but since “activate hibernation” is part of the features on the Asus...

    Attached HDD sleep-mode fix…

    Well - as mentioned - it is THE EXACT same hdd that I had connected to my netgear router — Where it went to sleep mode just fine. So it is definitely not the disc that is the problem …

    Attached HDD sleep-mode fix…

    I know this is somewhat of a hot potato. Personally I just recently switched from an older netgear nighthawk router to Asus rt-ax86u pro … did a pretty thorough read-thru of all reviews — and NEVER did I stumble on this issue. So I attached the same drive that was hooked in my nighthawk router...

    Connected HDD spins up constantly

    Did anyone manage to resolve this issue? I recently ditched my netgear nighthawk router and got an ASUS Rt-ax86u … and now have the same problem. The exact same 4TB 2,5” Tohshiba USB 3 hdd would power down/sleep/hibernate just fine on my Netgear router … it has now been running non-stop in my...
