    Hi,
    I have an Odroid U3 with a hard drive attached to use as a music server. But when I do not use it for one or two minutes, the hard drive is set into idle-mode and needs a little time to start back up giving me a delay for the playback. What can I do to fix this?

    Hello Don,
    The idle time is pre-defined at 180 seconds. If you want to change this parameter, you need to go into the console and type in the following: nano /etc/default/hd-idle, there you can change the time in the following line: HD_IDLE_OPTS=“-i 180 -l /var/log/hd-idle.log“
