Hello I have a vu+ solo using Blackhole hyperspace its running perfect. I have connected my 120gb 3.5 internal hard drive that I removed from an old pc, I have it connect via an ide to usb cable and powered seperately to the mains. My vu finds it mounts and works records perfect the only thing is that its spinning constantly and quite noisy even in standby. Ive set it in hard drive settings to sleep after a certain legnth of time and even tried hdd sleep plugin but niether make the disk sleep. Like I said its powered seperately to the mains socket so Im not even sure how the box could control the hard drive. Any help please.

Hi predeh your first post should be here buddy.
IntroductionsBecause the hdd is powered from an external source i dont think there is much you can do about the standby situation, perhaps a silent enclosure like this is an option.

Introductions
first post should be an introduction.Simple answer is you probably can't do anything about it. The box clearly isn't able to put the HDD to sleep - It is externally powered and unless there is a sleep mode on the caddy or however else you have it set up, I doubt you can get it to sleep. Might be an idea getting a caddy that supports putting it to sleep.
Edit = I am too slow with my response - ditto ten:dribble:
