I have a beautiful new imac. Whisper quiet.... only thing is I have a WD My Book Pro external HD for time machine. It is connected with FW800. Although is has a sleep mode, it doesnt seems to use it. Spends most of its time awake, and is relatively noisey!

Any reason why it isn't powering down regularly? Any one have the same issue?

(Clearly it should wake up for the hourly TM backups!)
