| Dec 6, 2011 at 1:41 | comment | added | Adam Lassek | @Kevin I agree, it makes no sense. But it isn't limited to any particular app, and frequently occurs when doing something that has nothing to do with the backup drive whatsoever. The drive simply decides at random intervals that it needs to spin up, and whatever I am doing freezes until it completes. | |
| Dec 3, 2011 at 17:52 | comment | added | Kevin Reid | "Your entire UI freezes" doesn't sound right. It's true that anything that accesses the drive will have to wait for it to spin up, but the Spotlight indexer is a background process which the UI shouldn't be waiting for. Is it possible that there is something other than Spotlight which is using the drive? | |
