I am trying to get my PC to be silent. Unfortunately, there is one physical drive (HDD) that just wont stop spinning (and therefore makes a lot of noise). It is only used for data storage, there is no active program that is using the drive. Windows and all the applications I'm using are installed on other drives (SSDs).
The drive is set to be stopped after three minutes of inactivity - yet it will happily spin along for hours:
Ressource Monitor shows no Programm using the drive:
Does someone have any Idea what might be causing the drive to stay active and how I might fix this?
I am using windows 10, MSI B350 Motherboard, ryzen 1600. The drive in question is a 2TB Seagate.
