Default Western Digital "My Book" - Questions

Hello!

I canīt find any information about the standby-mode of the Western
Digital My Book - harddrive!

Can it be turned off by software?

I could only find a lot of reviews talking about a standby-mode after 5
minutes!

But I donīt want to turn of the HDīs motor! (for a longer life of the
HD)


I also couldnt find any information about the automatic power-on-mode
of the HD!
Can the HD be configured this way that it doesnt power on every time
the computer boots?

And can it be turned off manually?


Thanks a lot,

Andy
