My Book Live Duo, version 3.1.5.9, has a constant blinking green light. Everything works fine on my three network workstations, i.e., back-ups, retrieval, save, etc… I’ve powered down several times but the blinking green light continues. This started a few weeks back and has been a constant issue since. By the way, it continues when my workstations are powered off and my drivers are up to date. Any thoughts? Maybe a firmware update of some kind? Appreciate the help.
Hi,
I’ve got the my book live 2tb version its about 3 years old. I basically use it as a NAS drive for my video collection connected to Kodi via SMB. I copied all my video, music, and photo’s to my new mycloud mirror which was going to be my new NAS. I then restored my mybook live to factory settings and as a backup i started to copy over my photo’s to it just incase my new ever NAS failed etc…!
Well as i started to copy over the photos i noticed that the transfer rate went from around 30mbs down to 10mbs and then 0mbs and it go up and down but not going more than 5mbs…!?
So i stopped copying the files and tried to access the settings via the web interface which took absolutley ages to open.
I noticed that the green light was still flashing even though i was no longer writing to it?
After another factory reset i tried again and the same thing happened again, i downloaded the latest firmware and tried that but it carried on doing the samething…flashing green light, very slow writing and slow access to web interface.
So i just left it running and after about 10-12hrs and it finally went to the standard blue standby light. Now i’ve been on a few WD forums and apparently the mybook live is “indexing” all of the files that are copied onto it so its easier to access them remotley on your mobile or tablet!!??
Hope this helps!!??
