Using Power Management
To minimize the power consumption of your drive while your
computer is on, you can take advantage of the power management
feature supported with the Energy Saver control panel on
your Macintosh.
The power management feature sets the drive to automatically use
less power after a predetermined period of time of inactivity. This is
sometimes referred to as spin down since the drive’s internal
mechanical disks stop spinning. When the drive is in the spin down
mode, one of the blue power lights will remain on and the other
one will blink.
