I have a Seagate Freeagent 2TB USB 2 external hard drive connected to my time capsule 1TB Gen2. The USB drive wakes up in about 6-10 seconds when connected to my Macbook Pro via USB, so the hard drive itself is fine. However when I open the drive over the network via the time capsule it takes 2 minutes before it wakes the drive and I can access the data.

1) Does anyone else have a USB drive connected to a time capsule and how long does it take to wake the drive once it has remained idle long enough to sleep.

2) Any idea how to fix this problem or is this a known bug?
