Does it go to sleep after being unmounted?

It doesn't go to sleep when it is mounted and not in use, but yes, when you unmount it does goe to sleep.

After attempting to get the LaCie system up and running I ended up with a bare bones system. The LaCie was DOA. I replaced it with a dual drive mounted in a Icy Dock which does have the ability to go into sleep mode after being unmounted and/or energy saving mode during periods of non use.

It doesn't go to sleep. It recommends removing the batteries when not in use. It doesn't have an on/off switch. I remove the batteries when not in use and it works fine.

It's probably going into "sleep mode". Does it come on when you move your mouse around?

Turns off with the computer. That said, if it is connected to a Mac it will will still work when it is in sleep state as Macs do charge external devices while in that state.

I think it works that way. I notice it go to sleep mode after a while if no activities. There are couple settings at the bottom of the speaker for sleep mode settings. I love this speaker.

It does if you put it into manual sleep mode (when you click sleep), but not when the screen times out.

I leave mine on 24/7 for the purpose of being able to access my media while I am traveling. It will sleep after a period of inactivity and you can set it up to go into deep sleep on a schedule.

Your Windows power settings (assuming you're using windows) determine whether or not the drive will 'sleep'. However, the WD website states that power management settings should be set so that the drive never sleeps otherwise you may see problems. As long as you don't 'span volumes' with the drive, you should be able to remove it safely any time you wish.

It does go to sleep after a period of no audio being sent, which is great, because it keeps the battery from dying. To wake it back up, you need to turn it off, then on.

Andrew, I am not sure if there is a 'sleep' feature, maybe Seagate Support can weigh-in on this one.

Unfortunately, you must power the system off and on for each occasion. It does not have a sleep mode.

I'm not sure if it's the enclosure or the OS but on OS X the Put hard disks to sleep when possible option of the System Preferences Energy Saver does put the drives in this enclosure to sleep.

I found it puts it to sleep, but not OFF. The other reviews were a little misleading. So the battery stops being used but you have to remember to shut it down completely using the button on the side if you're going to charge it.

yes it does put it into sleep mode but i prefer to power mine off when not in use due to the charging time.

Once you plug in the device into the port it powers on. I do not believe there is a sleep mode.

So far, for me, when the computer sleeps, it disconnects the drive. When it wakes, it mounts it again. Sometimes, it just disconnects and reconnects for me while I am working. :(

No. That is a feature that my last one had and I missed it at first. Now I just push the sleep button.
