[QUOTE="Noels, post: 686418, member: 49942"] Azureal, To quiet your externals for the night, go to Disk Utility and select the drive you want to shut down and select "Eject." on the top menu. That will stop the external drive from running. If you have 2 externals, select them one at a time and then eject each in turn. But you'll have to re-plug them into the USB in the morning to re-energize them. When you eject, they shut down as if the USB connection was broken... You could also just turn your computer off for the night. That will shut everything down... Noel [/QUOTE]
