[QUOTE="mac57, post: 308671, member: 17052"] Something that might be happening is that Spotlight is busy cataloging the drive. I find that every time I plug in a new external drive, I have to immediately go to the Spotlight preferences panel and add the drive to the Privacy tab. Is this possibly what is going on? If you hear the drive cranking even after you have quite iTunes, this might probably be what is going on. [/QUOTE]
