THen there is always a small delay when it needs to wake up. I found this especially irritating. I was able to fix the problem by getting a copy of the Win XP version of the software, and used it to fix the sleep interval to 'never.' For some reason this is an option on the win xp version but not the mac version of the maxtor manager software. Luckily I had boot camp installed, otherwise you'll need to borrow a friend's PC to get the job done. Hope this helps!

In Final Cut Pro sometimes playback will stall, and I'm thinking I may have not formatted it correctly after all-- or something else could be going on. Any ideas?
