Re: Seagate Ironwolf ST2000VN004 no spin

Well, to my surprise that worked. I had done some chckig on PUIS wiht a AI question on a method to stagger spin up of my drives. And in the process I bet this drive was the victim of being set and not undone.

So I installed seatools on my unraid box:

root@SERVER4:/scotts/openSeaChest-v26.03.2-linux-x86_64-portable# ./openSeaChest_PowerControl -d /dev/sg1 --puisFeature disable

All smart test look perfect, except its 8 years running lol. But I've got older. So a decent spare. Maybe prices will come back down some one day.

Thank you very much for the help.
