Hello,
I've owned a MyBook Studio 1TB from Western Digital for yearly a year now. I'm not exactly happy about it for a number of reasons - the "ticking" sound it makes when it's being written to and the disco-inspired light that they put on it for no apparent reason are both keeping me up at night. Yet, this is not my biggest problem.
I really need a way to disable the built-in "sleep" mode that puts the hard drive to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity. I can't have it freeze my computer for 4-5 seconds every time I need to write to a file on it. Does anyone have any experience with this?
