I have a Asus RT-AC66U and I will flash the firmware with Asuswrt-Merlin. I read that disk spindown is something possible with Merlin. So should I just let my USB drive plugged in all the time in the router? I don't want to abuse my USB drive, so I wondered if it's safer to unplug it. Maybe there is a way to actually shut down that particular usb port so it powers off the drive? Then I would just enable the usb port and mount the drive.
