eSATA hard drive does not go to power save on DM500HD

  • Hi,


    I have an new Icybox IB-390STUS-B eSATA enclosure for my new Western digital 2TB green power hard disk (WD20EARS).


    Even if i do a deep standby the hard drive spins as usual.
    Is there a way to force shutdown/power save mode for the hard disk upon dreambox standby/deep standby?

  • Hi I am new to this but also want an external hard drive for the 500 HD and found the box has an external e-sata only so can I get a cable to conver the male esata to a usb for my 500mb wd drive?


    Any help would be appreciatted.


    I certainly would be grateful for the link for the drive and enclosure you have please.


    Regards


    Alan
