Hola,
I'm using a Maxtor 60GB drive connected via firewire to my Indigo iMac, running OS 10.1.5. The POS drive always dies when it spins down. Then I have to turn off the power to the drive and repower it for it to remount. Sometimes this causes a kernel panic. As long as it keeps spinning, there is no problem. So I'm wondering if there is a way to get the thing to stop spinning down, even when not in use. Anyone?
Thanks.
ps. stay away from Maxtor drives if you can. I have used two now, and both have had major problems.
