Windows 7 - Sata AHCI and Drive Power Down
| |
| 02-26-2011 | #1 |
| | Sata AHCI and Drive Power Down I currently have my drives set to shut off after 30 minutes of inactivity (in advanced power options/settings). Recently I've needed to enable AHCI for hot swapping stuff. Consequently with both of these, what happens is the internal drives (data/storage drives. C: and my programs drives stay powered on) power down and therefore removed from my computer / disk management / device manager / etc. which is what they should do. however....they don't seem to power back on. Has anyone dealt with this? I'd like to keep AHCI and the idle power down both enabled. I just want the drives to spin back up after the PC isn't idle anymore. I have a gigabyte MA770T-UD3P win 7 x64 no sp1 gigabyte's site shows no new chipset drivers since 2009/08/14 so there isn't a new driver to be installed. I updated them after swapping to AHCI. And that doesn't appear to be the issue anyways, since I can hotswap drives without a problem |
