The
Turn off hard disk after
option is to turn off (spin down) HDDs after X amount of minutes of being idle (unused).
The "Sleep after" option is to put your computer to sleep after X amount of idle minutes.
It would be pointless to have he HDDs turn off at the same time you put the computer to sleep.
Hope this helps.

Before sleep if you wanted to.
Can't turn the HDD's off if the computer is already in sleep mode. In sleep mode, the HDD's are turned off by default.

The computer and HDD would still be in use while downloading, so the computer wouldn't go into sleep mode.

Hello Sasha,
You might not have hibernate enabled for hybrid to show up.
Hibernate - Enable or Disable
Hope this helps,
Shawn
