I haven't seen any errors, so it's probably a feature rather than a bug with this drive.
I have two USB drives on my system, and one of them takes about 30 seconds to spin up. It is very annoying when I'm rebooting the system but it decides it has to spin up the unmounted drive before it can finish. I can understand the need to scan everything when it boots up, but can't imagine why it needs to scan everything on the way down.
I'm not aware of it scanning on the way down. My problem is that it scans a drive that it isn't going to need until something mounts it, and makes everything else wait till it finishes. There doesn't appear to be something analogous to the NFS "soft-mount" option.
