[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1852205, member: 396914"] A "spinner" is a rotational hard drive. The motor to rotate the disc consumes power, so some manufacturers have the drive stop spinning if it isn't used for a while. Then when it is needed, it spins up again. Sometimes that spin up and handshake to the OS to say the drive is now ready can take some time. [/QUOTE]
