RAID can't sleep? at DVinfo.net

Hi All,

I just built a SATA Raid inside my mac G5 Dual 2.7. I am using a

Sonnet Tempo eSata 4+4 Card (4 internal ports, and 4 external ports)
3X Western Digital 400GB SATA Drives

The raid works great, but it seems if I have the option checked to spin down hard drives when possible in energy saver, they wont wake back up.

Anyone else have this issue?

I've heard of this problem before, but I thought it was solved in Tiger. Are you running Panther or Tiger?
