Does this have spindown/power saving feature?

NO. Only if your system supports drive "sleep". The drive in the Vantec will perform the same as your internal drive(s) as far as the "sleep" function.

I don't believe the box has any internal power save feature, but it does pass any OS sent power saving commands through to the drive. So if your OS has a spin down timer configured in its power options, then the external drive will share that spin down function and turn off and on with the OS requests.

Not that I'm aware of. I have forgot to turn it off in the past & go back & it's still on. So, I'm assuming it doesn't. I'm learning to turn it off before I leave the room. But, I've been very happy with it. It does well for what I need. Thanks

No it does not! Actually, it turns itself off after like 8 minutes to save your battery! Good buy!

Not that I know of. But, you get 2 hours before it turns off. Move it around before your nap and don't nap for 2 hours straight. LOL

The enclosure does not have any power management features, just an on-off power switch. If your operating system supports it, it can spin down the drive.

Yes. I believe it does in the settings area. I don't use it as I turn off prior to leaving or going to bed.

I'm not sure what you mean by "turnoff". The device does have a power button and can be turned on as well as off.

Sorry I'm not sure about either question. We don't use either one of those features. It is fast and it has a large memory. We like those features. Quick start-up from sleep mode.

Yes. It has a external override button which works to turn the devices off when they are scheduled to be on or on when scheduled to be off. Next time they are scheduled to be on, they will turn on whether you have overridden them the past scheduled off or not.

Yes, it does, actually an on/off and power on both switches. That way you can also keep it plugged into the wall and just flip the switches when wanting to use it to save power.

No it does not. But it does put the PC into standby if you hit the power button while its on.

Yes it does! and it also had a switch to turn it on and off without unplugging it! I have had this for a few months and I personally love it.

Yes. You can also toggle off the keyboard lighting in case you want to conserve energy.

There isn't any on/off button but you don't need one. It seems to stay charged a long time (weeks).
