Questions regarding hard drive spindown/standby in Nuts & Bolts Posted November 6, 2013 So, summarizing: If I want just to spin down all the disk of my system after 30 min, and I want to check the status from the StableBit Scanner in the power column, and I want to wake them up ONLY when there is a data access, I'll have to : 1: Set query power mode directly from the disk (in disk setting options) 2: Set do not query if the disk has spun down (in smart options) 3: Disable the Standby timer in all the disk of the system (in disk control) 4: Set the Windows HDD standby to 30 min (in Windows power management) Is that right ? I'm forgetting something ? Thanks a lot.... Proteo

So, summarizing:

2: Set do not query if the disk has spun down (in smart options)
3: Disable the Standby timer in all the disk of the system (in disk control)

Is that right ?
