Power Option: Hard Disk (Turn off for idling?)
Howdy great peeps,
I have my computer powered on all the time (during sleep the fans helps to mask my tinnitus),
but I've been wondering if it's a smart idea to turn the disk save option on whilst I sleep?
I already use a custom power save option for when I sleep, but I'm unsure if I should turn this on.
I have an SSD & 3 hard disks, but I've read that continuous spinning up & down,
is bad for the health of the hard disks? Although I know this option doesn't effect the SSD.
So it should be safe to use whilst I sleep? Since no programs are running from the hard disks (so no spinning).
Or is the power usage when I sleep already low enough that this option wouldn't effect them?
Kind regards
