Every time I go to sleep I leave my computer on. All night I cant hear my external hard drive spinning down the reinitializing and spinning back up.
Is there any way I can get it to not spin down?
This on and off spinning is getting very annoying.
Thanks,

If it is Vista you can try changing around your power saving plan.
Go to Screen Saver->power plan-> change plan settings->advanced:
Make sure you have the computer turning off the HDD after a set time
Also, Enable the USB sleep feature.
that might do it.

The HDD options only change the internal HDD. Ill have to try the USB Sleep feature.
