Gerenciamento de energia) problema com o disco rígido USB (Maxtor Basics) externo
I downloaded from Seagate the Maxtor OneTouch Lite software (and inside is a program named "Maxtor Manager"), which was NOT recommended for my Maxtor Basics Desktop drive. If installed, I can select my external drive and I can set the sleep intervall. That solved my problem.
