[QUOTE="iddesigner, post: 974000, member: 138625"] Hi there, I just bought the Iomega UltraMax Plus 2T for my Mac Book Pro OS X 10.5 When I first bought the hard drive it was in the wrong configuration, so I changed the configuration and Eased/Reformatted the drives. It is now in the simple non-RAID format. When I powered down the drive for the first time, by trashing the volumes, the drive automatically stops running, and I think the lights also changed. This made me feel as if was ok to switch off the drive. However if I do this now, since I have reformatted the drive, the drive keeps on running. It feels almost as if I am damaging the drive by switching it off. Can anyone advise me please. P.S I have already spent 1.5 hours on Iomega chat facility on there website trying to get this answered. No luck. Thanks [/QUOTE]
