It's not powered by the USB interface but has its own power cable. In fact even after the drives go into idle mode the dock itself is still powered (the lights are on). Think of a thumb drive that's still in the socket (though that may not be the best analogy). I'm asking if there's a way to reactivate it without physically pulling it out and reinserting it. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
