Did this yesterday. All seems well except in File Station, where the folder list seems to have a numeric limitation. That is, sorted alpha descending the last few folders don't show, but when I reverse the sort order, there they are at the top of the list.

Thanks Gary, is hibernation still working.

Just to add are you sure the last few files/folders aren't on a new page. At the bottom it should show how many pages of folders you have. Apologies if im saying how to suck eggs.

Dunno about hibernation working or not. Haven't noticed!

when I open File Station it makes no mention of pages at the bottom, just the number of items. There's no way to page either.

I did it a few days ago,  the day it was launched,  NO problems

Hibernation is unchanged, still rock solid  

Thanks all, just updated so will see how it goes.

I beg your pardon, but why many of you use the hibernation? Noise?

It isn't risky to spin on/off the HD and it also takes a tens of seconds before to be operative (the Naim app likes such latency?)

I would learn by your experience and in case also activate it in my Sinology.

Have a nice evening to all.

Ciao biceps, no it's not risky, considering the time in hours we actually play from NAS, maybe not even 12 hrs in a week; compared to continuous running. 

Then think about your PC/Mac/laptop, each time you don't use it or close the lid it sleeps & hibernates

I held back the update until now and had a go tonight, too...

TimeMachine backups and hibernation of the HDDs still work. My standard user can mount, read, write normally. Can't comment about the guest user, I always deactivate and never use them, because of security reasons.

@bicela: It's not only noise, but heat and electricity, too.

Thanks dears, let's me to try. Any special reccomanded setting in the hibernation setup for Synology?

I have mine set at 10 minutes.

However let me expand a little on the risk in hibernation,  hibernation is like a deep sleep with (Synology anyhow) & it is not the same as a startup from total power off,  it takes a few seconds, maybe 10 (?) compared to aprx 1 minute for a power-up.  

In my system I use WD Reds which I chose because I understand they are designed with a variable speed feature & able to take the on/off/on of audio/AV network streaming. 

Thanks Mike, as usual fast and precise! WD red also here.

Hi Mike,

Common assumption is that the drives feature variable spin speed ... they don't!

The drives are *EITHER* 5,900 rpm *OR* 7,200 rpm depending on type ... WD 'Black' are 7,200 rpm and WD Red are 5,900 rpm (I believe that all the other Purple, Green etc variants are also 5,900 rpm too but I haven't looked).

WD Reds are designed for 24/7 operation (so ideally *SHOULDN'T* be spun down going by their intended usage patterns) and have the TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) configured so as to make them suitable for use in RAID arrays (but this makes them unsuitable for use as standalone drives in PCs).

Cheers

I'm obliged Phil - I re-read the WD info where I picked that "IntelliPower" was 7200 - 5400rpm.  Re-reading the WD & other blurb its not actually stated other than "IntelliPower"  but technical reviews speculate at 5900 or 5400rpm

They're sneaky aren't they? They don't actually say what 'IntelliPower' actually is and they let you *PRESUME* that the drives are variable speed but if you think about it there's no practical use for (and it would be bloody difficult to implement) variable speed drives - it's simply that the "performance" (Black) drives run at 7,200 rpm and the non-performance drives run at (as you say, an estimated) 5,900rpm which reduces heat output quite considerably....

Dilemma: hibernate or not hibernate?

I don't hibernate *ANY* of my NASs at home (although 'Frankenserver' powers up - now only once a month - to back up any newly added media and then completely shuts down again) ... the only NAS that I *DO* let hibernate is the NAS that is located 'off site' that mirrors my personal files NAS and is 'geographically independent' so can be located anywhere it can get power and an internet connection.
