Roon causes NAS to run all the time

[David_Podeschi]

I run the Roon app on an iMac running Mojave 10.14.6 or an iPad pro with the latest ios.
Roon Server 1.6 is running on an SSD on a QNAP NAS 453be with up to date OS.

Network Details (Including networking gear model/manufacturer and if on WiFi/Ethernet)
Araknis AN 300 4L2W and QNAP NAS 453be is ethernet to this unit, not wifi.

Audio Devices (Specify what device you’re using and its connection type - USB/HDMI/etc.)
Linn Selekt DSM with katalyst ethernet connected to same router as NAS.

According to QNAP support the reason my NAS runs 24/7 is Roon. Can I turn the Roon server off when I am not using it so that my NAS can go to sleep?

Hi @David_Podeschi,

Yes, you can stop RoonServer on the Mac when not in use and then start it up again when you’re ready to use Roon.

I think that if Roon has been turned off, when you start it up again, it will begin a scan of your music storage to see what has changed. This may or may not impact playback until this startup scan has completed.

So how do you turn the Roon Server off? Thanks,
