Continuous running of mybook drive

Is it possible to keep the mybook external drive running all the time when the computer is on? Many software I use store data on the drive but the drive has to start up many times to access the data. When I don’t enter data for a few minutes the drive shuts down. This is a problem for my software. Can this be changed?
