attached through eSATA, it shuts down after 20 Mins of idle,

a lag when I try to write to it.

Check out the power options for the eSATA port. Microsoft has deemed
to automatically put "Allow Windows to shut the power..." option.

Also, you will need to contact the eSATA drive manufacturer and see
what are the options to set the power "save" features.
 
Okay, thanks for your help

cheers
