Hi Guys New to external storage ( except for 2.5" portables). Looking for a 1TB exernal drive that will spin down when not in use. Is this something that is available? If so, any suggestions? If not, what should i be looking at? Cheers in advance.
I have a WD MyBook Studio that spins down when not in use. I also have a Seagate one at work as well as a couple LaCie disks and iirc they too spin down when not in use. I'm 100% on the MyBook though. Besides they all cost roughly the same I would think all in the MyBook series spin down when idle for a while.
Cheers Bud Got a little un now, gotsta back up them pics! was looking at http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/expansion/expansion_desktop/ seems to have efficient energy management . . .
I would reckon most of the major brand ones have decent power management. The Seagate one I have at work is the standing one that's got white light towards the table... A mac-like contraption Congrats on the kid! Mine's just turning 6 months on tuesday. It's great
