    Secondary HDD repeated spin-up/down when going to sleep and shutdown


    Hi everyone, I have a dell laptop with primary os SSD nvme and secondary data HDD sata. In the bios, the sata HDD is set as RAID on; the other option is AHCI. nothing changes if the secondary HDD has the paging file enabled or disabled. I clean installed windows 10 when I bought the machine. I am now on 20H2.


    I have disabled S0 standby through the platformaoacoverride method found here:

    https://www.dell.com/community/Inspiron/Disable-S0-low-power-idle-S0iX-modern-standby-connected-standby/td-p/7650768

    the behaviour is the same as before windows 10 2004 when modern standby was forced enabled.


    What happens is that if my HDD is spinning and I put my PC to sleep or I shut it down, it does all its things then the HDD spins down, then it immediately spins up and after 2 or so seconds doing something it spins down again.


    It's a complete nonsense. I cannot find ANY way of fixing this behaviour; it looks just like the wrong SATA device management or something like that; all those spin ups and downs are completely useless and definitely unwanted.


    I'd be glad if anyone could help me with this.



    Have a nice day

    :)

    How to make secondary HDD go to sleep in modern standby

    Windows 2004 removed the ability to use S3 instead of S0 low power idle. My pc (dell g5 5590) has a primary nvme SSD (os) and a secondary sata HDD (data) configured to "raid on" on the bios (acpi option is available). When it goes to sleep the HDD keeps
    spinning, which I don't like, especially given that before the update it would behave as I wanted.

    Is there a way to make the HDD spin down when the PC is in standby? Thanks

    My internal secondary HDD is still going to sleep

    It's a brand new installation of Windows 10, the updates are run and applied.
    I went into the power settings in the control panel and told it to not let anything go to sleep
    My secondary HDD is still going to sleep however. It's a Seagate 500GB on SATA 1
