Stop problematic disk spin-downs
Authored by: scottdb on Jan 18, '07 08:45:14AM

I use a cron script to touch an invisible file that I've placed on each of my three external drives. Works like a champ.

You can use CronniX to easily set this up to run every 20 mininutes or whatever.

/usr/bin/touch /Volumes/extra/.nospin.txt >&2 /dev/null
