I know of no hard drives that auto-power-down on their own without
instructions from the BIOS or APM in the operating system. If there is
one such, I would be interested in the make and model...so that I can
avoid it. I always turn off all such nonsense. It can do mischief to just
about anything. It comes in right behind overactive screen-savers as
one of the major sources of unsuspected trouble.
