    Exclude Hard Drive From Windows Security


    Hello,I have a backup hard drive installed in my PC. Windows Security keeps waking the drive up periodically so I added the drive to the exclusions list to prevent this. The exclusions list does not specifically state that a drive can be added only files, folders, file types and processes but I added the D: drive to the list anyway. However, the problem persists.How can I prevent Windows Security from constantly waking up the backup hard drive?

    :)

    On the contrary, showing off "slow tech" by adding a window to a hard drive is a "dumb" idea. Do you really want to be showing off a whole "7200-10000 RPM of power" or would you rather show off a plain SSD drive? (If you really desire to "show off")

    Adding any window to any drive is just stupid. I just suggested an easier option for you since manufactures don't put windows on the latest hard drives.
