USB drive issues- keeps going to sleep-
March 20, 2010 03:57AM
Anyone else have an issue with this?

I have a maxor 320 gig external drive and getting it to work with the drive is a race against time. It seems i always have to unplug and plug the drive back in before it goes to sleep and cannot be accessed. It wouldn't even be an issue if it at least waited 10-15 minutes before the drive turns off but it's more like 3 minutes of inoperation and it's offline. I worry that unplugging then plugging back every time might be damaging the drive. Any kind of fix out there that will wake up the drive without manually disconnecting then reconnecting it?

Any help would be appreciated.
