    Xbox One S disc drive spins and fan kicks in when turned off


    Hi all,

    My Xbox One S is in energy saving mode just to clarify

    Recently after it is switched off, the disc drive kicks in randomly and the fan starts up for around 10 minutes. Then it all stops again. This will happen with hours between occurring but it seems to do it roughly every 4 hours.

    It has never done this before and started about a month ago.

    I'm in Alpha Skip Ahead too in the Insider Program.

    Any idea why it keeps doing this? Energy Saving Mode shouldnt be allowing it to boot like this.

    :)

    Xbox One X - USB-powered external drive always on!

    Yep. No affect.
    The xbox one has updates sometimes when the console is off. Does the drive keep spinning for more than 10 minutes after you turn off the console?

    Also, does the drive park when the console turns off? And it keeps spinning?

    Disc Drive spins really fast when 360 is turned off

    I have the same problems. Happened at least 10 times with an xbox360 S. Today for example i turned off xbox360 with a background download and the drive started to spin until i eject the tray. Happened also when i entered in xbox video with last dashboard.
    Inserted i have the battlefield 3 disc. It seems to happen randomly. I think an update can solve this. If you have a very big download the drive spin until the end. If you eject the tray the console turn off again.

    XBOX One external hard drive keeps spinning up and down every minute

    Attempted to turn off the option to power down drive so that it would be always on, but even then it spins down and up again every minute. So it seems no matter what setting it's on, it will not

    1. keep drive powered on when in standby

    or

    2. keep drive powered off when in standby

    So if it's doing a status check every 60 seconds, is it the drive that is spinning up on its own, or is it the XBOX OS that is spinning it up I wonder?

    I have another drive which I have plugged in and tried this on, it is a Hitachi Touro 1tb (usb powered hdd) and it also spins up every 60 seconds. I plugged the hitachi into another XBOX one S and noticed it exhibited the identical behaviour... Spinning
    up and down every 60 seconds.

    So that's two drives on two Xbox One's. I'm very puzzled. Thoughts?

    Disc never stops spinning

    Are you sure it`s not the fan?

    The disc should not spin when not in use,i would say you have a faulty machine.

    Disc starts spinning extremely fast when I power off the system or returning from any app

    Probably it isn't the hard drive disc that is spinning fast, once the console was turned off. I think it is the fan that is trying to cool down the hardware. Did you check if the console heats a lot before turning it off? Do you have your console in a tight
    space or with stuff on top of it, preventing its cooling? Is your room too heated?
