    Every since I upgraded to 10.6.2 / changed my external FW800 drive from raid 1 to raid 0. The hard drive remains spinning after I shutdown the iMac. I contacted western digital and they said to contact apple, which I have not done (yet). Before I made the above changes (not sure which one exactly caused this problem) everything was fine, the external turned off when I shutdown, and turned on when powered on (now it does not, because I am forced to manually power the external off).
