usb3 Hard Drive Problems with THG3000

       I  have a problem with 2 HDD, one 3TB and the other 6TB.   I have used both these usb3 HDD with other routers, the last being the BT Smart Hub2 and before that one of my own, a TP- Link and the HDD have always gone into power saving mode.  Something with the Vodafone WiFi Router THG3000 keeps the HDD active, I can hear the read/ write activityevery few seconds with the indictor light constantly flashing 

         At first I thought it could be compiling a media listing but this has just gone on too long, weeks infact. I cannot discard the router for my own TP-Link as I had planned because i was given false information when I signed up, namely that the VoIP phone connection used a seperate ethernet device.

There is no problem with accessing the HDD or it's contents over my local network, just the fact of the drives being kept constantly woking 24/7.  One is a mobile HDD and the other a desktop HDD, the contant churning of the drives will seriously shorten the products life
