Depending on usage and personal needs, the hardware hibernation function can bring energy savings and extend the life of the hard drive.
Advantages of hard drive hibernation
Save power: The hard drive is one of the components that consumes the most power in a NAS. Enabling hard drive hibernation can effectively reduce power consumption.
Extend the life of the hard disk: Reducing the operating time of the hard disk can reduce the wear and tear of the hard disk and extend its life.
Reduce noise: The hard disk will produce noise when it is running, and the noise can be reduced in sleep mode.
When is it appropriate to enable hard drive hibernation?
NAS usage is infrequent: If your NAS is mainly used for backing up data and the access frequency is infrequent, enabling hard drive hibernation can save power.
Want to reduce noise: If you are sensitive to the operating noise of your NAS, enabling drive hibernation can reduce the noise.
