T11 HDD neve sleeps

Post by ebin »

Hi, just bought an ACEPC T11 a week ago and installed in the internal hdd slot a Seagate Barracuda 1TB, 2.5" SATA HDD.
With the system idle (no task running) the HDD spins all the time, even after hours of no use it still stays on. I managed to check Windows 10 Advance Power Setting (following instructions on how to activate it) and the HDD is supposed to sleep after 1min of inactivity but it stays on forever.
What is the setting to make the hdd stop? Is Acepc T11 not capable of that functionality?
Thanks in advance

Hello, you can find this setting in Power Options-Advanced Settings.
Thanks for joining the forum fans, we will become friends here. Any suggestions about the forum I am open to hearing.

You can enable hibernation in the power settings. Hibernation saves data in the hard disk. Hibernation consumes less power than sleep.
