[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1642607, member: 175845"] A lot of the external drives, and it seems more so with a some of the later ones have a builtin sleep mode, but I'm not sure it can be changed. Check the manual or the manufacturer's site for support or info. But normally unmounting, if required, and disconnecting and re-connecting the drive [I][B]should[/B][/I] get it to mount, unless Yosemite does something different. If nothing else, the OP could try one of the Mac "Keep Awake" utilities to keep the drive alive like [B]Keep Drive Spinning[/B] or one of the alternatives etc. and I think [B]Insomnia[/B]??sp is another: [url]http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31158/keep-drive-spinning[/url] [/QUOTE]
