Ive got my Macbook Pro in a desktop situation right now and i have the 500gb My Book hooked up with firewire 400 to my laptop 24/7 but it constantly turns off/goes idle for a couple of minutes and then will turn back on again even when im not using it.

Is it possible that the computer could be accessing a file on it with me not knowing and that is what makes it come out of sleep/idle mode?
