Is there a way to turn power save on USB hard drives? Right now I have my drive plugged in and it gets very hot even when not in use. I've tried playing with the various power settings but nothing seems to change anything. This is an externally powered USB 2.0 enclosure and I've tried several drives on it already. Thanks for any help.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
