[QUOTE="jamesdmc, post: 667411, member: 39529"] Actually, it's both. They definitely spin down by themselves. I can hear them go to sleep and wake up. They make a whining noise when they wake up...just like me:D. However, I was unaware of the whole "put the hard drives to sleep" setting. And yes, it was checked. Must have been by default becuase I never messed with it (then again, my Mac Pro is a refurb; don't know if that has anything to do with it). I'll bet that's why they spin down. I just unchecked that box. But you're right, mac57, it does defeat the purpose of RAID 0 if you have to wait for the drives to wake up before you can access them. I'll keep an eye (and an ear) on this and report back if they spin down after unchecking the energy saver function. I have a feeling that they won't. Thanks for the tip, Cowasaki. James [/QUOTE]
