3tb drives always spinning on new motherboard

[Michael Thorpe]

on my old motherboard the drives would only spin up when I clicked to access them. This meant a small lag after clicking for them to begin working but meant the drives weren't spinning needlessly.

got an asus maximus gene VII and now the drives are always spinning and I can access them instantly.

how can I have it so they only spin up when I access them???

In windows, you can go into power management and tell the drives to spin down in xxx minutes.
