A cure for chronic diseases Windows 7 dual hard drive automatically shut down

With the rapid decline in the price of hard drives, more and more friends use dual hard drives, generally one of them as the system master, and the other as a slave storage file. If you are using Windows 7, you will often hear the sound of the hard disk stopping and starting. For example, when you turn off the computer, the system will automatically start the slave disk (if it was stopped before).

In fact, this is the automatic power saving function of the hard disk provided by Windows 7. By default, if the slave does not read or write for a period of time, Windows 7 will automatically shut down the hard disk and read and write again. Boot from the disk. Such frequent shutdown and start-up, although it does not cause too much damage to the life of the hard disk, but the sound of starting and stopping is not very comfortable...

We can conveniently close this "尴尬"The function." From the control panel, go to the "Hardware and Sound → Power Options" window, select the power plan currently in use, click the "Change Plan Settings" button on the middle side, enter the "Edit Plan Settings" window and select "Change Advanced Power Settings". Expand "Hard Disk", you can see that the default setting is to turn off the hard disk after 20 minutes, we can reset it, or simply set it to "Never", it will take effect after confirmation.

Of course, if you are using Vista, you can do the same.
