I have a 1TB external hard disk from Seagate connected to the USB port of my Airport Extreme and everytime I need to access it I have to wait some time until it leaves the sleep mode.

Is there a way to prevent it from happening?

You can use Keep Drive Spinning. It continuously accesses a hidden file to keep the drive awake.

You can also set it up yourself per these instructions.
