Rebuffering

<< < (2/3) > >>

JohnT:
I don't think we buffer more than one Gigabyte of data, how big are the tracks?

ronfint:
Thanks, John. I'm not talking about tracks that are that big. Yesterday, I had this occur once on a track that was about 600MB.

bplexico:
Out of curiosity is your external drive set to sleep or hibernate after a certain period of inactivity?

ronfint:
I don't think so --- but I don't even know how to check that.

bplexico:
Well, two answers, it can be configured via your Mac in System Preferences under Energy Saver (see attached). The second is some external drives have a firmware controlled sleep mechanism. In the instance of WD, I believe they sometimes ship with WD Drive Utilities or WD SmartWare (depending on the type of WD drive, i.e. My Book Essential) which you could use to disable the sleep timer.

That being said, perhaps it is not a case of the drive itself going to sleep. Just exploring all alternatives.
