I just got the MXQ Pro 4K Android TV Box, however when i plugin a external Hard drive and turn the box to sleep mode the hard drive is still on and does not turn off. Can someone please advise me what i can do to correct this, because now i must unplug the hard drives every time when I'm done watching.

Not sure that Android has sleep commands built in for external devices. Can you let us know the make/model of the hard drive, there may be a utility that can manually set the time before drives spin down.
If you don't have Seagate Manager/Dashboard installed already, can you see if http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support/downloads/item/drive-settings-master-dl/ helps? Windows based program, but I'm hoping the settings sent to the drive(s) will persist, and aren't just to set the Windows OS spin down timings. Probably same as http://www.seagate.com/files/www-co...ex/_shared/downloads/SeagateDriveSettings.exe
If you do happen to have Seagate Manager/Dashboard installed, open it up and check around for setting spin down timings. Dashboard looks to be covered at http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/214217en?language=en_US
