Hi,

I bought this drive a while ago and am using its as a huge dump for files :)

However, lately I notice it kind of needs to spin up occassionaly before I can read files on the drive - once it spun up (i can hear it spinning) its fine.

Its like it spins down when not in use (not using it for my OS drive) and needs to spin up again once I open the drive).

Any ideas? Is this normal?

Thanky
 
Yeha my 750 and 1 tb do this.
They spin down when not being used to save power im guessing. Theres a slight pause if you click on the drive but its not too long and you know its doing something cause you can hear it starting!
