| Using advanced Power settings in Control Panel you can have HDDs turn off after a set period of time of non-use. "jush" <jush@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E4894BA1-8614-4876-8140-A62F51F96979@microsoft.com... Quote:

| Can I use different settings with each drive and does Vista turn hard drives completely off. I'm concerned about the noise, heat and power consumption and whats the minimal time delay for turning hard drive off after non-use? As I understand when I try to access the hard disk it turns on again. Are you able to turn this function off. I'm thinking about equivalent to hard on/off like hot-swap but purely by software "JW" wrote: Quote:

| As best I can tell it uses the same setting for all drives, however, it only turns drives off that you are not using it does not turn off ones in use. "jush" <jush@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CBEE8807-72C0-4C7B-8016-2F71CC2FDDB2@microsoft.com... Quote:

| If using the Control Panel set the HDD turn off time in advanced settings to "NEVER". Some HDD's especially those designed for RAID systems will spin down to a lower power use settings when not in use. Check the specs for your drive.
