Having a problem that any options listed in this and other forums that I searched has yet to fix..
I have added an SSD to my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro in place of the Optical drive. I am running the most up to date OSX Mountain Lion there is as well. The problem I am having is my Original drive, which is now my secondary Hard Drive for Pictures only, stays spinning... 24/7 if I leave my Macbook on. This ultimately causes more battery drain. Even if I eject the drive, a few moments later it spins up again but doesn't mount.
I have tried adding the second drive, called Media Drive, to the spotlight Indexing Privacy tab but it appears that spotlight is still searching that drive every few seconds causing it to spin up.
It's a Seagate Momentous XT 500GB drive if that matters and the option to sleep the drive when possible is activated.
Any help would be appreciated.
