Re: External Hard Drive question...

I have a WD 2TB external set up in a RAID-1 config. This one (I think it's the 'Pro' edition...whatever) has a 'sleep' mode built into it or something. It hibernates after a certain period of not being accessed and I can't find anywhere that I'm able to change that setting. I like the idea that's it's hot-swappable should I lose a drive. I have the same deal in my tower with (2) 750GB Seagates as RAID-1, but it never 'sleeps'.
Also have a WD 500GB and (2) LaCie 250GB...none of which power down unless you flip the switch.
I'd love to have a Promise brand array of about 10 or so 750GB - 1TB drives, but that gets REALLY salty.
