I remember there was something about that some time ago ? Was that a software issue ? Anyway my Lacie external boot drive fan runs at high speed even when the drive is turned off and cooled<br><br>
Which Lacie exactly? Is it bus powered?<br><br>Is it the one shaped like a Mini, and if so is it under or on top of the Mini? If so move it off of the Mini and see what happens.<br><br>------>#1 - JD's Trivia game<br><br>------>#2 - MM-MCF Trivia game

Its the Mini one and no Mac Mini on top - I placed the Lacie on top of a CD case because the fan vents is at the bottom which I felt was not enough air circulation and still the fan went on forever until I unplugged it<br><br>
I thought it might be heat coming off of the Mini fooling the LaCie sensors.<br><br>Is it the 500G? They have something called a smart fan, more like a duh fan it sounds like.<br><br>------>#1 - JD's Trivia game<br><br>------>#2 - MM-MCF Trivia game
