Ah, a USB disk sleep timer. Hook the disk up to a PC and use the vendor utility to disable the sleep timer on the disk. Hope this helps.

I have a Seagate FreeAgent drive, and approach suggested above seems to be working for me.

I agree with the previous poster, in doing a bit of research on this topic, I found a lot of discussion of unix and usb drives and problems related to spindown, as well as some potential solutions. Unfortunately, all the solutions made reference to files or directories that don't seem to be present on my Duo. It seems likely that there's some OS level setting that could fix this problem, but it would take someone who knows a lot more about unix than I do to figure it out.
