[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1650803, member: 131855"] That was based on what was true some time ago so perhaps it is possible now and I've just missed it. I suspect it's not impossible but more a question of two things: 1. Programmers don't think that the wear and tear or energy used is significant enough to warrant the code change. If more users pushed for this perhaps there'd be more of a rush to do it. 2. I wonder if different drive manufacturers don't implement the sleep function in slightly different ways. If true that might complicate things even further. Perhaps someone with a bit more specific knowledge in this area will chime in. [/QUOTE]
