Sleepy HD
Windows 7-64. I've got 3 HD's. I notice that one of them seems to shut down when it's not being addressed. I know this because when I send something to it the system pauses and I hear it starting up and then it writes the info.
So my question is twofold. Other than the lag time, is there any potential problem for having a HD go to sleep like that? And if so, what do I need to do to keep it fully awake and alert?
Thanks.
