After updating my hard drive with Drive Setup 1.5, I notice that sometimes my hard drive does not spin down when it's supposed to. Why is this?
DISCUSSION
The hard drive will spin down (either manually or automatically) once, but then will not spin down again until the computer is restarted, or in the case of a PowerBook, until it is put to sleep. This issue affects all Macintosh computers with an ATA hard drive, including all Power Macintosh G3 and PowerBook G3 computers. This issue does not affect the major functionality of the computer or any data on the hard drive. On a PowerBook, the battery life may be affected when the hard drive does not spin down as often. Note: This issue has been fixed in Drive Setup 1.6.1, which has been posted to Apple Software Updates. This article can help you locate the software update mentioned here: |
