I bought an EHD to use with my 722. Since you have to use a powered EHD, I was wondering if everybody left it plugged in all the time. I fear this would eventually lead to overheating or a crash if I did.
I thought they would NOT go to sleep? I thought the sleep feature only worked when hooked to a PC and was part of the PC functionality? Or, I was thinking the sleep feature was part of the built in software on the hard drive which gets wiped out when you initialize it to work with the 722?I have multiple drives, but try to leave my 622 hooked up to an older Seagate drive that will go to sleep...
They will, my newer drives I remove all the sw from to keep from going to sleep... I forgot on one and if left plugged it I will get the "you have an external hard drive connected" message occasionally when it wakes up...
