I just got a WD My Book Studio Edition II, and I use it to store all my music on the network through my AEBS USB port.


Here's the problem, the stupid drive LOVES TO SLEEP.

I'm listening to a 5 minute song on repeat. Because the file isn't that big, it doesn't constantly read during the entire 5 minutes, and i supposed its got part of the song cached on my computer, then it sleeps.

So, the song "repeats", and in the middle of that song, it pauses for about 8 seconds to let the drives spin-up.

Is there anyway to prevent the drives from spinning down.

At this rate, my setup and the purchase of the My Book drive is totally useless, and it sucks cuz i can't return it.

Please somebody help me!
