[QUOTE="chscag, post: 887097, member: 46727"] The external carrier may be defective or it might be sophisticated enough to spin the drive down during periods of inactivity. Check the documentation (if any) or the manufacturer's web site for info regarding the carrier. I really don't think it's good for any drive to spin down and up again at intervals, regardless of activity. IMO, that just shortens the life of the drive. Regards. [/QUOTE]
