Maxtor Diamond Max 10 constantly powering off with VISTA

Hi all,

I upgrade my OS to VISTA and now my Maxtor is constantly powering off on low activity. Does Maxtor Diamond Max have auto APM?

Well after many hours of silly setting changes I finally changed the power options from 'balanced' to 'performance' in VISTA. It might have done the trick...why I would have no idea.

Still powering on and off. Maybe it has something to do with coming out of sleep. Nothing to do with the performance profile either it seems.
