WD HDD not going to sleep

[Antirip]

Hi

I've two HDDs plugged into my ASUS, a 1TB Seagate and a 1TB WD HDD. The Seagate will spin down into sleep mode after 5mins of inactivity but the WD will spin on forever.

Does anyone else have the same issue with WD HDD? Or any suggestions how to fix this. The Seagate has software where you can adjust the sleep time but the WD doesn't come with such software.

Thanks for any help

When I have it plugged into the laptop it goes to sleep alright after a few minutes. This is the one I have http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002E7HEVU/?tag=smallncom-21
