Like many Qnap TS-101 owners, i have been having problems putting my Qnap to sleep after what ever time period is set on the Qnap admin settings for the HDD shutdown.
I have now got mine to sleep for the 1st time time by one simple change. I changed my SB screensaver display settings for power off/inactive state from displaying "Time/Date" to "None". So when the SB is powered off the SB display is "blank" which allows the Qnap to sleep as it is NOT being polled for the time by the SB. Then by powering up the SB with the Red power button the Qnap wakes from it's slumbers and purrs into action. With reference to my above posting several days ago which I notice has solved most users "Sleep" issues, I would like to add an additional stage...............which is that once you have made the above changes to the default screensaver, THEN you need to power off your SB's as if they are already in the "Power Off" state they will still retain the old screensaver which contains to poll the time..........or just reboot the Qnap which will break the link. Lastely I confirm that the above problem was solved with the ORIGINAL firmware.........I also confirm that the new Firmware allows it to sleep OK. I do not believe the continuing issue with the HDD not powering down is a Qnap issue, I believe it will be local PC services such as Virus or Spyware scans, Google Desktop indexing, etc which by default look @ all HDD's.
