glassfish Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Does somebody know, where the issue is when the external hard drives respond very slow to a point where one can not copy over a small sized file? I have this issue with different types of external hard drives. I am using Windows 8. Edited December 1, 2014 by glassfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Are they asleep? HDs turn off by default after a period of time to save power, so they have to spin up before you can access them. You can turn that off in power settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassfish Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 I can click on the HDD icon in Windows Explorer and have them spin up. When it comes to your suggestion in the "Power Options" I only have those options like "when to put the computer to sleep".I would appreciate it if somebody who knows about this issue would let me know.
