I have just added a 500GB internal HD to my MacPro. One thing that is really annoying is that the drive keeps putting itself to sleep. It is especially annoying as I have all my music on the drive and if I pause my music for a few minutes I get a 10 second lag before the music starts again. Is there anyway of changing this?

Thanks,

EDIT: I think I have just found the solution in the energy saving pane, I will see if this works on a non-boot drive.
 
Just leave the option unticked in energy savings, stops all hard drives sleeping, non of my 4 sleep, sweet as no start up noise ;)
