    How can I see what woke up my hard drives?


    I'm using a program called revosleep to spin down my hard drives when I don't need them but Windows will spin them up every so often which is annoying and I don't want this.

    The file systems are inaccessible so Process Explorer doesn't show any open files on the drives. I've already disabled the search indexer, disk maintenance and backup services.

    Is there any logs I can look at that show disk wake events?

    Thanks.

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
