ZimaBlade + ZimaOS 1.7 — Disks Won’t Spin Down

I received my full ZimaBlade 7700 kit a few days ago and installed ZimaOS 1.7.

I’m using two 6TB Seagate Enterprise v4 drives in RAID 1 from my previous setup.

I noticed that the drives never spin down. They run at full speed constantly and get extremely hot (around 55°C).

To investigate further, I unplugged both drives and connected a single 1.5TB WD Green as a standalone disk. The same issue occurred; it also keeps spinning continuously.

I ran another test by connecting one of the 6TB Seagate Enterprise v4 drives to my Windows PC using a USB adapter. In that setup, the drive spun down normally after a few minutes.

Based on these tests, it seems like something is wrong on the ZimaOS or ZimaBlade side. I also tried reinstalling ZimaOS, but the issue persists.
