Disksomnia works seamlessly in the background to keep any disk awake, including those that ignore Energy Saver preferences, since wtexaiting for disks to wake up can be a frustrating experience for content creators who often work with media files located on multiple disks.

Disksomnia 3.0 is an invisible application with negligible overhead so system performance will not be affected. Options for controlling when it runs and which disks it affects can be set in a new System Preferences pane.

also requires Final Cut (Express or Pro)

Question: could this be modified so that it would serve the function of keeping attached drives from sleeping without the need for running/install of Final Cut?
Thereby making it more generic, for folks who would like external drives to stay awake but have not Final Cut?

Apologies if you wasted your time with this. Yesterday I received the developer's newsletter announcing this new freeware, read it, and went to the developer site. It was not made sufficiently clear to me in the newsletter nor the developer site that this software required FCP or FC Express. The description and requirements have now been changed, thanks for the heads-up.
