MAC Mini USB Storage Keep Drive Spinning201

If you ever wake up your MAC Mini and it notes a "Drive Ejection Error" and your USB Drive is disconnected then reconnects ... check this note and utility out.


Keep Drive Spinning is an applet that makes sure that a connected drive never goes to sleep (that is, that it never spins down).

Normally this can be controlled using the Energy Saver preference pane in System Preferences, and that should be your first resort in dealing with the problem, rather than this or any other third party software. However, some external drives (e.g. Western Digital's MyBook drives) do not respect the System Preferences settings, so for them an alternative like this is needed.
