Sony Android TV: external USB HDD constantly active

by Hansmuh

Hi, I have an Sony KDL-50W755C with a external USB HDD attached. And even if the the is off the light of the external HDD is like always flashing. Does anybody know what my TV is doing?

Bare in mind that your TV isn't really off - it's like locking your phone.

Is the HDD powered by the TV or is it pluged in to the wall?

How fast is the led flashing? This could also mean the HDD is in Standy. At least WD HDDs Flash really slow in Standy.

I had a spinning drive attached and because USB the USB went into low power mode it would constantly try to start up, run out of current, turn off, try to start up etc.
