It's a big deal because it's shortening the life of the drive for no reason. If instead of running 1 hour a day it'll wake up multiple times and run a total time of 3 hours I think it's safe to assume its lifetime will be reduced. Maybe not by 3 times, but enough to be an issue.
Is there a way...
Wouldn't other periodical activities, such as indexing and anti-virus scanning (among probably many others), also wake up the drive?
It's unfortunate if this is the case, because in theory a backup software (with sufficient permissions) could unmount a partition or switch the whole drive to...
I have an old Atom-based PC that I'd like to use as a dedicated backup server. It has a small SSD drive and a new 6TB drive which I intend to use for backups of other machines in my home (which all run Windows). My goal is that this drive will be completely idle (not even spin) except when...
Reducing resolution in an LCD screen (e.g. QHD at FHD) results in blurry text in most cases, but is it an issue for gaming?
I'm considering getting a QHD screen and trying to work around the small text by changing Windows DPI settings (and living with the occasional broken app and truncated...
I'll try it as soon as I'm home.
I would like to use 1080i (for the TV) and 1080p (for the projector), but I've already given up on that because my receiver doesn't support different resolution modes for different HDMI outs. I was hoping to find a way to feed it with 1080i signal, as it's good...

My 15m long HDMI cable (which is connected to my TV through an Onkyo NR709 receiver) doesn't support 1080p. Is there a way to configure AMD Catalyst to always downgrade 1080p to 1080i?
The connection is HDMI on the card and DVI on the monitor. Is that supposed to be the more reliable setup? If so, then it's not working very well for me...
