Power Management

The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition offers disk spin-down, power timer (time off/time on), UPS event, and wake-on-LAN power management options to reduce system power consumption, both while the system is in use and when it is not in use.

Disk Spin-Down Option

You can elect to spin down your ReadyNAS disks after a specified time of inactivity. The disks will spin up as needed. To enable spin-down mode, select the Enable disk spin-down after...

check box, and specify the minutes of inactivity before spin up.

Figure 5-3

Note: Enabling disk spin-down disables journal mode. Once enabled, if you decide to disable disk spin-down, you need to manually re-enable journal mode if desired.

NETGEAR recommends UPS if you utilize this option.
