Dave Cheney Dave Cheney Right, but is there anyway to change this? So that either the power down doesn't occur or so that Windows waits longer for the hdd? I tend to remeber that the drive came with some software on it I'm going to go and give that a try. Okay I found the Seagate Manager and downloaded it again. Once I brought the Seagate manager up I clicked "My Drives", selected my drive from the list, and clicked the "Settings" button.
I'll let you know if it did. Well okay, it seems like this I've put a large fan that runs all the time infront of the drive to hopefully help clear this up It sounds like you have a hardware fault, the drive should be able to run 24x7 without fault.

Good point, the drive may have some sectors that are getting close to unreadable. If the drive is formatted FAT32 then this is doubly possible as FAT32 does not spread its filesystem information around the disk, it just sticks it all at the front of the drive, and area which is more susceptible to failure.
What brand is the enclosure? Some are really cheap and don't perform well under large loads. Daniel A. White Daniel A. White 1 1 gold badge 9 9 silver badges 20 20 bronze badges.

Netgear also has a NAS product which also encounters delayed write errors, but they have an option on the NAS to disable CIFS write-through caching - I expect this is achieved by refusing to grant oplocks on the files.
BTW - one of the other symptoms I'd encountered after installing the NAS was 'disk full' errors when attempting to add apps to the NAS through the portableapps installer, this also seems to be working correctly now.
