All HDDs switching on at Boot and Shutdown

I have quite a few HDDs in my system but I don't use them that often so I've changed the power options so that they are turned off if I don't use them for x amount of time. Here's my issue though, when I boot or shutdown, all of the HDDs switch on making both processes slower.

Is there a way for me to avoid this?

Thank you
