OT USB hard drive
Some long while ago, I bought a Buffalo USB 1Tb hard drive. It is
physically quite large and came with its own wall-wart PSU. I have not really used it much. This week my ISP sent me a new router, which included a USB Samba connection and I have now managed too get the drive working via that. If unused for a while, the hard drives in my PC power themselves down, so I rather expected there might be some way to achieve that with the Buffalo drive. It seems silly to have it running continuously if it is not being used, but where the router and Buffalo are located, is not easily accessed and some way away. Is there some way too set such a drive too self power down after a period of inactivity please? -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
