Hey, i'm new to this forum, i refer a lot to it for odd mac issues, but have never signed up until now.
I'm having a problem with a HD i put in an external case, i'm using a Samsung HD103sj, and when the drive goes is standby for some time it won't respond to any access through my mac (time machine, or finder). time machine will do the spinning sync logo, and finder will pull up files to a certain point then once it realizes that the drive isn't spinning it will beach ball on me. the only way to stop this freeze up is to turn it off. if i just unplug it and plug it back in, the platters still won't spin when it's plug in again.
Thanks for your advice.
