Complete drive test fails on Mac OS X when Energy Saver "Put HD to sleep when possible"

As noted in http://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=9796 the “Complete Drive Test” fails when the Energy Saver is set to “Put HD to sleep when possible”, when running WD Drive Utilities v. 2.0.5.18

However, I had already spent QUITE SOME TIME worrying about the state of my drive and rerunning the test, before finding above page. I’m sure you can detect in the settings in OS X that this sleep mode is enabled, so please pop up a warning that that setting prevents proper running of this test!

Hello,

That sounds like a good idea. Make sure to post that on the ideas board so other users can vote for it.
