G Drive 4TB USB3.0 crashes Mac OSX 10.9.4

I'm having problems with the new G Drive 4TB USB3.0 (Version 26.02)

When The drive is idle for a while, it goes into some sort of sleep mode, and when it has to wake up it invariably crashes the Mac on OSX 10.9.4

In Energy Saver I have turned off Every sleep mode, so the drive is doing this by itself, it's not ordered by the OS, and obviously this is creating havoc.

Note that the G Drive only holds Media, no system files whatsoever.  And it's formatted HFS+ Mac OS Extended (Journaled) GUID.

I don't know what's causing this and if there is a remedy, but it is extremely annoying.

Are you experiencing this as well? Let me know.


Update: I received a second G Drive 4TB USB3.0 and it too is exhibiting this problem.
