Slow Data Access on My Book Duo After Wake-Up

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing very slow data access on my My Book Duo after it wakes up from sleep mode. It takes several minutes for files to load, making it difficult to work efficiently. Has anyone else faced this issue, or found a solution to speed things up post-wake-up? I’ve checked all connections, but the issue persists. Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated! If there’s a helpful resource, please share the link.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
