4 Bay DS-SC4B two bays continually spinning up


  • I just got the 4 bay station. ( this is the second one, I've owned another unit for a few years) and I have 3 drives in it. One continues to turn the blue light one and spin up the drive when nothing is accessing it. The other bays work normal. 

    I removed that drive that spins up and put it in the other empty bay. Same behavior. I then tried another disk in each drive. Same. 


    I don't know what the issue is. My other older unit another computer and it works flawlessly. 

    Could it be this one is bad?



  • @Mark Levine This could be a power or USB setting in Windows and/or the UEFI but could be that specific unit or when a certain drive is anywhere in the docking station. Might be possible to modify the behavior with utilities for the HDD(s).
