Is there a function in Ubuntu for the drive not to go into idle mode? Such as high performance or keep hard drive always on? I'd suggest once you see the drive try pulling files out of the drive into the desktop as fast a possible before it stops.
I don't know if there is such an option. Someone just suggested Ubuntu to me today, so I am new to it. I try to pull the files as soon as the drive folder opens, but right after that it stops.
I just spoke to a friend who works IT desk and he said that if I buy an external enclosure and connect it via USB I might be able to use it long enough to transfer the files off of it. Was he babbling in his sleep or is this a possibility?
