Hi Community
I have a powerful computer and i prefer it to stay quiet which is does till i have this problem.
The SSD in the system is for the OS and i have a Western caviar digital HDD for my games. I have set the power setting for the HDD to turn it off after 5 minutes so when i finish a game it turns off.
The problem is that it is randomly spinning up when i'm not using it. I have checked the resource manager and the only files being read are from the C drive (the SSD is drive C, HDD is drive E and the SSD reserve is Drive D)
What is causing my HDD to randomly spin up when i do not need it, is it because there are steam game on it and steam keeps checking?
