Hi,
I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.4) on a Mac Mini and I am having problems with external drives.
I have a number of external drives (USB and Firewire) connected. The computer will turn off the drives if I'm not using them (put them to sleep I guess).
My problem is that the computer is starting the drives when it shouldn't be. Here are two examples:
Is there any way to turn of this tendency to start ALL my external drives when it is not necessary?
Best regards,
Eggert
I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.4) on a Mac Mini and I am having problems with external drives.
I have a number of external drives (USB and Firewire) connected. The computer will turn off the drives if I'm not using them (put them to sleep I guess).
My problem is that the computer is starting the drives when it shouldn't be. Here are two examples:
- I open Firefox and save a picture. The save as dialog box opens and it opens in the same directory I saved a picture in last time (external drive nr. 1). However, the computer starts ALL of the external drives before I can do anything.
- The trash is empty and I delete stuff of external drive nr. 2. I then immediately empty the trash. However, before the computer empties the trash it starts ALL of the external drives.
Is there any way to turn of this tendency to start ALL my external drives when it is not necessary?
Best regards,
Eggert
