ROCK Accessing NAS Often [Expected Behavior]

[noris]

Hello @TKelley,

Thank you for your patience here while we consulted further with the team on this. Based on the advanced diagnostics, it appears that Roon is checking for the drive availability and this is the reason why you notice the activity occurring on your NAS.

At the present time, this is expected behavior and as per Mike’s comment in the linked thread and any change in this functionality would fall under a feature request and would require considerable design changes:

Roon Causing Constant NAS HDD Access

Hey folks, Apologies for the slow response on this thread. This ended up with me, and the last 2 weeks have been a little bit busy So, I’ve discussed this issue with our dev team, and I think this is a side effect of how storage works in Roon. Roon is designed to watch your storage devices in real time, and when you add an album it should show up automatically. When your storage device is turned off, the albums it contains should disappear from Roon automatically as well, returning …

Regarding Mike’s second part of the post (and the issue that @Michael-W is encountering) of accessing the NAS when the storage location is disabled, this is not expected behavior, and we are investigating this in a separate thread.

I wish I had better news for you here, but due to the way that Roon storage currently works, it is expected that Roon will check to see if the NAS is still available as a storage location, and this may prevent the NAS from entering power-saving mode.
