    Its set to 1 minute activity time out and the taskmanager resoloution graph is 1minute so there is no activity for 1 minute and yet windows 10 is keeping them spinning, this means that the top one is heading towards 47c and i know thats a tad hot for a hard drive, anyone have this issue?

    C is an SSD and they are all the same, no activity for more than a minute and all of the disks are spinning (except for the ssd)

    can you actually feel them spinning?
    as I said in another thread once before. Advanced power settings, there's an option to allow windows to sleep a hard drive, if its set incorrectly they can't be spun down

    i upgraded to windows 7 (from win 10, so buggy) and it works perfectly, my noisy drives switch themselves off now!
