I use an SSD for Windows and apps but still have to use a traditional hard-drive for storage. 75% of the time I do not need to access that drive and I would love that it would start only when I access it from file explorer as my computer would be dead silent when they are off.
I turned on "Turn off hard drives after 30 minutes" but they only turn off after my display has turned off from inactivity, or when I lock my computer. They also turn on immediately after I move my mouse to wake up the screen.
In Win7 and previous windows, the hard-drives turned off after x minutes when I did not read anything from them, and turned on when I tried to browse them in the File Explorer. Has this logic changed or is there some trick to get it to work like that?
Thanks!
