I have a 64 bit HP Vista machine, a HP Pavilion a6567c PC and am wondering
if the Iomega 150 gigabyte hard drive that is attached goes to sleep when the computer does. How can I tell if it is or how do I make it go to sleep with the rest of the machine? TIA |

How can I tell if it is or how do I make it go to sleep with the rest of the machine? TIA The easiest way to confirm this is to listen to the drive to see if it stops when the PC goes into sleep mode. Most external drives exhibit some vibration when running. This is assuming it's a USB drive. If it's an eSATA drive, it will stop when the PC goes to sleep. |
