Rocky Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 On my new Win 7 setup I have 2 internal HDs and an external. I have noticed a delay when accessing the second internal HD, you can hear it click, spin up, and then become available. It's a bit of a pain, and it never did this in XP. Is there a setting for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMF Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Yeah it's under Control Panel/power options. Click "Change plan settings" next to the selected plan, then "Change advanced power settings". Then look for "Hard disk" and tell it to never turn off the drive.

Didn't see an option to turn off, but I changed it from 20mins to 120 mins, that should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
