Hi, I need help...
I just bought an external, usb, hitachi xl1000 hard disk (HDS721010CLA332).
The disk works pretty well but it keeps going to sleep/standby mode after three minutes or so...
the disk sometimes keeps starting/stopping all the time... which is bad for the disk it seems (i read that today) and very bad for the people accessing it (via nfs and web) because it takes some time to startup again which creates a very disturbing latency...
I'd tried everything that came to my mind to disable that feature and keep the disk spinning but nothing works. I had a lacie in which i could disable the sleep feature with camcontrol but in the Hitachi nothing had worked yet...
Does anybody knows how to do this? I would like to disable the feature completely but to increase the time it takes to go zombie would be ok also...
thank you
cheers
