I'm wondering if there are any DAS out there that wont trigger all HDDs in their bays to spin as soon as I make a read request to just one HDD located in them?
So far I've had only simplest 2-bay/4-bay docks (the docking station ones) and I noticed that browsing just a single disk content will spin all disks anyway, which is kind of irritating and unnecessary.
I know there are solutions with physical power on/off buttons, but I want HDDs to be available and ready on demand, yet not to go out of sleep mode when it's not needed.
Is anyone familiar with solutions to this? Im eyeing Mediasonic PROBOX 4 Bay and Sabrent DS-SC4B so figured I would ask here before I order them blindly to test.
EDIT: Obviously setup is non-RAID/JBOD, plain simple individual storage one.
