The well known Sandpile model of self-organized criticality generates avalanches of all length and time scales, without tuning any parameters. In the original models the external drive selects sites randomly. We analyse a drive which depends on the present state of the system, namely the effect of favouring sites with a certain height in the deposition process. We investigate, that the system stays in a critical state, if sites of height three are favoured. Our numerical results indicate the same universality class as the original model with random deposition, although the stationary state is approached very differently. In contrast, when favouring sites of height two, only avalanches which cover the entire system occur. Furthermore, we study the distributions of sites with a certain height, as well as the transient processes of the different variants of the external drive.
