  1. How to turn off internal HDD in Windows 10 laptop


    MSI laptop with a 1 TB internal HDD and a 500 MB SSD. I like the configuration but want the HDD only to store copies of things on the SSD. But the HDD keeps running off and on all the time. I turned off indexing, and tried a few other things I found in responses to other similar questions, but so far nothing has worked.


    It would seem that the user should be able to control the activities of a hard disk, given that there are several places with things like "disk management" if you know the secret pathways to them.


    So, how can I get control over this thing which is driving me nuts and wasting battery life?


    Thank you

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
