Re: FN-FORUM: External hard drive - how to stop "spin-down"?

date posted 23rd August 2007 01:36

I went through all of them. The one which handles Seagate hard drive
does not have Power Management settings. This spinning down is being
caused by hard drive itself. Perhaps if I found utility which can
access that hard drive every now and then it would stay on all the
time.
