Thanks for the reply Spiff.

And what about the 'Power Management'-options regarding the HD?
Can you tell me what they are and do?
Because I can't find any -more specific- documentation about it.

i couldn't tell you more than the setting names Smile

that should be enough for a google though.

Pretty sure it just tries to use the standard SMART power managment stuff.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Strange thing is, I did Google for 'hd smart high power low standby high standby low power' but without a clear explanation.
Are there any SMART-experts on this forum?

And what about the Acoustic Management Level?
Doesn't one overrule the other (Fast=High power / Quiet=Low power)?

But don't get me wrong guys, XBMC is state of the art software and I love it!!!
But maybe a litlle more documentation on this part.

This is running r19556:

< 5W - plugged in, turned off (low limit of this watt-meter device)
~ 28W - hard drive spun down (won't do this on home page)
~ 32W - XBMC home screen w RSS rolling, CPU 12% (same when screen saver dims)
~ 45W - streaming audio w visualization, CPU 100%
