[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1798462, member: 46727"] From your post above, I gather that the hard drive at one time did power down or "sleep" when your Mac sleeps? Have you recently updated macOS? Anyway, try resetting the SMC on your Mac to see if that helps. Also, you need to consider that the not going to sleep problem may be with the hard drive itself. If you have another external hard drive to test with, that would help isolate this. [/QUOTE]
