Hi,
I have a maxtor usb harddisk and there is a very annoying problem:
if this harddisk is not in use (no w/r) for like 10~15min, it's powered off automatically. So when I click that tab, I have to wait some time for the harddisk to spin up and be active again.

Is there a way to refresh TC tab every several minutes so that the USB harddisk will stay power on?

Many thank.
P.S. I could write a simple program to do so (a bat file in dos maybe), but I guess it's really better to do it in TC ( a script could do the job)
Thx! :wink:

I think this is not the feature to have in TC. This is a very special function. And this function may be easylly achieved by a VERY simple script - there's no need to integrate this in TC.
