Using MacStudio with brand new OWC Thunderbay4, and the dreaded spin down/up routine is back.

Thought I had solved repeated spin-ups using tips found here over past few months:

- In SoftRAID prefs, selected "Optimize For..." Digital Video (using Premiere Pro for editing)

- In Spotlight, added my RAID drive to "Prevent Spotlight from searching..." list (and have added, then deleted/added again)

- Tried app Caffeine

But still the drives seem to spin down if I'm not playing video for a few minutes. Then if I try to play video (or Premiere wants to do an AutoSave), I have to wait for Thunderbay lights to flash & drives to spin back up again.

I know this issue was posted in a few different forms months ago, but I'm bringing this up again in case there's a NEW solution I've missed.

No, there is no solution yet. This can happen with Apple RAID also. We are working with Apple engineering on several separate issues.
