Yes, I also have this problem.

Some 3,5" Drives take quite a long time to spin-up.

Maybe the time before displaying an error could be increased by 2 seconds or something like that. I guess this would fix the problem for most people

I've run into this occasionally in the past, tho my NAS stays awake 24/7 now, so it's no longer an issue. Seems like it'd be pretty easy to fix.

I think this should really be moved up to a P1. I'm fairly certain this is the reason playback keeps cutting out on my Boxee Box. For well over a year, I've put up with this issue. I'm streaming videos from my Mac to my BB over AFP. I've spent so much time sifting through Jira trying to find what OS X bugs or AFP bugs or whatever that may be causing this issue. Release after release, my videos still cut out during playback. This is the most likely reason.
