Hey guys, yes I read the subreddit description and I don't own one of the better devices like a nvidea shield. But maybe somebody can still help me here. My android box is a "eachlink h6 mini" which I am not using very often and I am till now quite happy with the performance.
My problem is that I attached a small mobile HDD which is getting its power through the USB port. However when I plug it in, it immediately starts the HDD whether the box is turned on or not. Same thing when I turn the box off, the HDD remains on.
Is there a way I can turn the HDD off in a proper way? I imagine just unplugging it isn't good for the device.
Thanks for the help. Greetings
Launch the "Storage" activity in the phone version of the Settings app (e.g. from adb or a short-cut creator app) and there's an eject button. This will definitely unmount the FS, but whether it will spin down the drive depends on the driver and enclousure.
