Hi, i have made a pc and it is very silent but not silent enough for me.
It is not that my fans are bad and very noisy but the HDD is anoying me, because it makes lots of (vibration) noise when i am not doing anyting on it!
I have an SSD where windows 10 is installed on.
But can i turn my HDD off when i am on Mozilla Firefox or Chrome? because these programs are on my ssd and my HDD doesn't have to do anything, CAN I TURN IT OFF? (controlled)

I only need my HDD when i am gaming or doing things with virtual machines
 


Not that i know, its the vibration sound of my hdd spinning not the little pin that reads it.
But i don't know what to do to it.

HDD: Seagate Baracuda 1TB
SSD: SanDisk 128GB
