Adobe Flash Equals Frustration

Can someone please tell me why every external drive connected to my Mac powers up everytime a FLASH animation appears on a website?

On my MacBook Pro, the fan would kick on, on my PC laptops… same thing. This isn’t limited to Apple products. It drives me nuts. Everything stops for a second or two as Flash wakes up everything, and on a mobile computer is sucks the battery life down to nothing because it spins up HD’s and the fans.

ARGH!
