Power Saver
The Power Saver application gives you the option to automatically
put your Toshiba drive to sleep (power down) after a period of disk
inactivity. If Power Saver is installed on your computer, you will
need to select from a list of pre-set time limits for the sleep option,
or you can select the Never option to prevent the drive from ever
going into sleep mode.
While in Sleep mode, your Toshiba drive remains mounted to your
computer and readily accessible. However, keep in mind, it will
require a few moments for the Toshiba drive to power up before it
can be accessed. If you need to frequently access your Toshiba
drive on a regular basis, we recommend you do not install Power
Saver. If Power Saver is installed, you can also select a longer time
limit or the Never option.
In order to use the Power Saver application your Toshiba drive must
be connected to your computer via USB (not eSATA).
