[QUOTE="Sur3Mac, post: 911571, member: 113359"] That's a good point you've got there, it may not be the most userfriendly way but it can be done. The time until the hard drive spins down can be controlled by editing the file /Library -> Preferences -> SystemConfiguration -> com.apple.PowerManagement.plist. Under the key "Disk Sleep Timer," you can edit the number of minutes until an idle drive goes to sleep. There are separate settings for AC Power and Battery. Sadly, the setting cannot be set per drive, so it's one setting for all drives. Hope this helped you;D [/QUOTE]
