So I want my 2TB drive to shut itself off after 10 minutes of no use, but I want my caviar black to never turn off. With windows power settings its all or none so i turn to you to help me with this problem.

seagate has a utility to affect each drive (plug one in at a time) , perhaps your WD has the same thing? just do one drive at a time.

Causes more problems than not so I just leave them spinning.
