Do your external hard drives exhibit a delay when accessing them after a short period of inactivity?
Many external drives are programmed to enter a sleep mode after they are not in use for several minutes.
When your computer accesses the drive after it has entered sleep mode, there is often times a pause while waiting for the drive to spin-up and resume normal operation.
These delays can be annoying and sometimes cause read/write errors or other strange behavior in certain applications.
KeepAwake is a simple and easy to use program that will help prevent your fixed and removable drives from going to sleep.
Key Features:
Prevent hard drives (fixed & removable) from entering their sleep modes.
Configure each drive with its own unique update interval setting.
Update intervals are remembered as drives are unmounted & remounted.
KeepAwake starts when you log into Windows and runs quietly in the system tray.
Enable/Disable updating all drives with the click of a button.
