Synology NAS Backup

What happens when a Synology NAS has been sitting, turned on, for a few hours? I know that it somehow "goes to sleep," but what does that really mean? I'm guessing that the drives stop spinning, but is there any activity going on? I'm wondering about wear-and-tear and electric usage - not that either is a big deal. Just curious.

I have one Jerry and that is my understanding. I think there must be some activity, but I doubt there is much wear and tear or electric usage. I believe there was something on their web-page about electrical usage. Nice piece of hardware.

Yes, it is a nice piece of hardware. I like being able to access files from different computers. The fan is always running, at least every time I check it, it's running, but that's using any measurable electricity.
