Setting the drive sleep timer
The drive sleep timer turns off power to your drive after a certain period of inactivity to conserve power and minimize long-term wear on the drive.
Note: The sleep timer function is not available for My Book® Thunderbolt™ Duo and My Book VelociRaptor™ Duo dual-drive storage devices.
