How do I keep it active all the time or ever 5 minutes or so ? I know it will make the drive last less but every time it goes idle and I try to go to a program like Macrium Reflect to image another drive it slows down the program. Sense it is waiting for the portable drive to spin back up I believe. Maybe I am wrong.

Sorry, you have posted to a "Mac Basics" forum on a Macintosh website, you may want to use a different site for Windows help. However, I will move this thread to our "Alternatives to Mac" forum. Maybe somebody there can help?
