Sleep mode of drive
The Zip drive is equipped with an automatic sleep mode. This is intended to reduce the power
consumption, and thus to extend the operating time of the battery. In the sleep mode the speed of the
disk is automatically reduced after an adjustable, inactive time (e.g. 3 minutes). If the drive is
accessed, the speed of the disk is automatically increased again. The sleep mode time for the Zip drive
is controlled via the system settings of your notebook.
