After rebuilding my system with a new ASUS board, I wanted to upgrade my
data drive to one with more capacity. Since I have a zillion drives
around here, I threw in a Seagate 3TB drive which is the ST3000DM001
model. I've been using these in my media server as they are inexpensive
though I'm now moving on to the 4TB models.
Away, the drive is plenty fast. But, it goes the sleep after about 10
minutes and it drives me nuts to have to wait on it to wake up. This is
not a problem in a media server but on an active desktop, it is annoying.
I know I can go buy a WD Black for $170 or so for 2TB, but is there a
way to configure this drive to not go to sleep or set the sleep interval
for a longer period?
