[QUOTE="BrianP, post: 195430"] Hello All, I am running a dual 2.3 ghz G5 with a lacie D2 external hard drive attached. According to the lacie site, the hard drive will not power up/down with the computer if the computer does not cut power to the firewire bus when shutdown. I am also running a slightly older dual 2.5 Ghz G5 with the same type of Lacie drive attached. When powering up/down the 2.5 G5 the external drive also powers up/down (I assume this is because it cuts power to the firewire bus?) However, with the newer dual 2.3 the drive remains on all the time. Are there any settings that can be changed so it cuts power to the firewire when the computer is shut down? Thanks. Brian [/QUOTE]
