HDs going to sleep, apparently
Hi all - if this is better off in another dept., please feel free to move.
I have 3 SATA 7200 rpm 1 TB hard drives installed. The drives occasionally go to sleep on me. I come back to my computer after not using it for a while, d-click on My Computer, and it doesn't open right away; I hear the HD click on, and then it opens. Then a little while later, I try to access something on one of my other HDs. Same thing - no response, a little click "on", and then responsiveness is fine.
Under Power Settings > Advanced, I have HD > Turn off HD after > Setting > Never
So, I am not understanding what is going on here. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
