If Power Saver is installed on your computer, you will need to select from a list of pre-set time limits for the sleep option, or you can select the Never option to prevent the drive from ever going into sleep mode. While in Sleep mode, your Toshiba drive remains mounted to your computer and readily accessible.

If Power Saver is installed, you can also select a longer time limit or the Never option.
