Stop external hard drives from spinning down on OS X [Solved]
I have my iTunes music library, samples, video files, and more on an external drive, and the 5 second delay of my drive spinning up is annoying at best and prevents me from working at worst. I finally just found the menu that disables the external drive from spinning down. I don’t know how this affects the drive life but it’s worth it for me.
System Preferences > Energy Saver > uncheck Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible
