    My external hard drive keeps going to sleep while I'm editing in Premiere Pro


    I just got a new computer. I'm still on Windows 10 just like my last computer. Now when I'm editing videos in Premiere Pro the hard drive goes to sleep if I take a 30 second break from editing. How to I make my hard drive never go to sleep? Every video I've seen has solutions that are not working for me.

    :)

  2. My USB 3 connected external hard drives go to sleep immediately.

    My USB 3 connected external hard drives go to sleep immediately. I cannot even get Explorer to recognize them before they go to sleep. I have changed all of the power options I can find related to external hard drives going to sleep, but nothing helps.
