[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1461238, member: 46727"] Which iMac do you have and what size is the hard drive? Apple has been issuing recalls for iMacs that were purchased in 2011 - 2012 that have the 1 TB Seagate HDD installed. They're replacing the hard drive for free. The reason I ask is because it sounds like your hard drive may be spinning up and down every so often. It shouldn't be doing that while the machine sleeps. Also, make sure under System Preferences, Energy Saver, that you place a check in the box that says "Put hard disks to sleep when possible". [/QUOTE]
