Status lights

WD Legacy Products My Book Live

Hi all,

I have a new MBL 2T, and after reading the manual, it says when the drive goes to sleep, the status light should show a solid blue.  I saw in the setup that the default is 10 minutes, so I left it at that, but I always see my light is a solid green.

Does this mean my drive is not going to sleep?  I would prefer that it does.

Thanks for any tips.

With the latest firmware, the LED has gone nuts. At times it goes to sleep with the GREEN light, and at times it doesn’t go to sleep at all.

If you want to make sure, disable all services (Remote access, Twonky) and wait for the time the drive is meant to sleep, you should hear ir/feel it power down if it’s gone asleep.
