ok thank you so much!

what is the root cause of this? it seems to be connected to software updates on windows or amd... right?

oh very nice thank you .. about which software or root is it then?

Dear Martin, Dear all Since I updated my Windows 11 system with latest Windows Updates and AMD Adrenaline on 4APR24 after every system startup my USB Connected Drives disappear as soon as the HWINFO Client starts. I tried to downgrade to HWINFO 7.72 and 7.70 as I first thought its about...

ok this is now really annoying: it seems the last BIOS update on the NUC hook it up.. Resetting defaults in the BIOS and redefine the settings did so far the trick and I have no issues anymore. This was more like a final tryout as I remember there was a BIOS update processed. Nevertheless: I...

PPPS: plugging out and in the both USB Hubs instead of Restarting the NUC obviously has the same effect to reset the farm.

PPS: no issues with the setup for almost one year :-) I think i really tuned everything I could and thought I solved the issue to avoid the disks go to sleep with HWINFO!

PS: the disks are not connected via external USB Case Controllers but via SATA to USB Converters.. so normal 3.5" Disks different brands, SATA > USB Converter > USB Hub > NUC. Powered via a normal PC Powersupply. So Can I still change the sleep time for the disks?

but I can directly influence the LEDs by changing the Global time setting. the LEDs indicate activity. At least so much activity that the disk does not sleep? So would you in general say that I cannot even use HWINFO to regularly poll the disks avoid them going to sleep? today 11:54 the farm...

Thanks for the hint. I dont want to appear unprofessional but based on the setting I enter under Global I can see the frequency of the LEDs concurrent blinking is changing to exactly what I set. The disks really seem to be polled exactly at that time interval. is that a misunderstanding by...

and the last observation for today.. (setting now at 2000ms again) some disks do not blink (are getting polled?) at all anymore.. Are they somehow occupied by the farm process? no permanent and no poll blinking.. I will check again tomorrow if the farm is again stuck.. thank you

Global: 20000ms Disk SMART every 100 Cycles (default as is) Emb. COntroller every 1 Cycle (default as is) It can be, everything runs all day without problems and say 17:54 in the evening or something like that it stops again and performance of the farm goes down. restart helps for a random new...

yes. I even changed the polling to 1000ms back again. Shall I attach one when polling is running?

Thanks for your reply. Its an Intel NUC with two USB 3.0 Hubs. I did also a fresh install of WIndows and on this system is nothing running than the chia farm. I dont know if it would be a hardware error since the farm is obviously running 24/7? However I of course had to move tons of GBits...

Hello! I have a chia farm using 19 external USB Harddisks. To prevent them from going to sleep or spinning down use HWINFO with SMART Polling activated every 20000 ms. Now since about a week, no idea what exactly changed, HWINFO out of a sudden stopped to poll the disks regularly. I have no...
