On my old PC my secondary HDD would keep spinning when I restarted my PC, but on my new one it spins down and spins back up on restart which I don’t want as it’s not good for the drive.

I have the B650 Tomahawk Motherboard - Is there perhaps some sort of setting I can change? Thanks.

    I had a 8tb 5400rpm drive lying around and thought, why not put it in my sound dampened win system.

    Windows 10 spins the disk up every 5 minutes, with absolutely no reason and then stops it again. It would be great if it kept spinning but the startup sound is so noticable that I had to ditch it out of the system, it was beyond annoying
