Support / External HDD causing delay
« on: Friday, August 22, 2014, 11:36:36 AM »
Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced this "problem" that I'm having. I have an external 3TB HDD connected via usb 3.0 that is just for backing up stuff. One of it's features, like most externals im assuming, is that it sleeps when its not being used. Which is fine and all, I can wait the few seconds for the disk to spin up when i want to access that drive. But the weird thing is that for some tasks, like simply emptying the recycling bin, I sometimes have to wait a few seconds for the external to spin up before the trash can be emptied. Not a huge deal, but just curious whats going on.
