I have an iMac that has 2 external HDs that spool up occasionally for some reason and basically stop my computer (safari) from doin anything till they wake.
No big deal, it's like a 4 second delay but is a bit annoying.
I have never used automator, but does anyone know how I could create an action or an automation that would wake my externals with a keystroke or something so I don't have to leave them mounted all day?
Also, I have SuperDuper kick on a couple times a week at night. Can that automator wake the drives before superduper starts and then eject them after?
Knowing mac I'm sure it's possible but feels a bit outta my league.
Thanks all
