Because on the *overwhelming* majority of occasions, I'm happy for the drives to sleep if not being accessed. Most things that I do don't need the USB drives. Bo's idea of a program which kept the drives spun up had occurred to me if I couldn't find a setting somewhere, but I was hoping for a solution which didn't require me to either disable the drive's power management or do constant accesses.
