Can I automatically power down a usb external HDD. I use an USB external HDD for backup only. I have the backup program scheduled to run at 2 in the morning and the backup takes less than an hour. So the external HDD needs to be powered up only during that hour. Is there a utility available that will "spin up" the drive when it is accessed and then "spin down" after an idle time?
