I upgraded from my Lacie 250GB to a My Book Premium SE 500GB drive... I got it installed using the USB 2.0 connection flawlessly. Transfer rates are great. Although I am having an annoying issue with my 20" iMac G5 (iSight).

When I try to put my computer to sleep - the second the computer goes off it comes right back on... This happens whether the My Book HDD is on or off. I have installed the button manager... And I am not sure how to configure it, but if I want the drive off I just press the button... but I do prefer that is come on and off when I put the computer to sleep.

Any ideas?
