    Can a WD my Book 4 TB be formated to EXT4 or EXT3?

    Try this. Turn off Merlyns 300 sec spin down and see if your Mybook 4TB drive spins down after 30 minuets.

    Can a WD my Book 4 TB be formated to EXT4 or EXT3?

    Is your drive re formated to EXT4 or stock NTFS? If it's stock NTFS and your spin down is set out of the box from WD to 30 minuets. You have to connect it to a PC and run the utility that's on the disk. You can set it to Never stop spinning and then see if Merlyns spin down will work. Ken

    Can a WD my Book 4 TB be formated to EXT4 or EXT3?

    Spin down Any ideas how the spin down will work for this drive, Western Digital does it from a utility in Widows. Is this hard coded in the unit ? Better to set before formatting? or Disable and use Merilyn's.
