Control over HDD going idle?

[Gachr]

Hello, I have a WD Blue 1TB HDD and it's a bit loud and I'm crazy about silence. Since I moved to an SSD the hard drive is going to idle after like 15 minutes, if I want to access it it starts again, I really like it but could I improve it? Is it possible to do something that the HDD goes idle after like a minute to five? BIOS change maybe?

you could put it in an disk enclosure to make it quieter

I know but I'm using it just few times a day when I'm gaming, then I don't care about the noise but I'd like to hit the "off" switch and enjoy the silence. I only have there games and backups.

Have a look at the energie saving options

"Change power-saving settings" in windows.

 

Search "Power" in your start menu.

 

 

Click on "change plan settings"  and click "change advanced power settings"

 

 

Then click hard disk, and then "turn off hard disk after"

@Lays Thanks, I changed it and doesn't seem to work, I'll try to reboot or something.

 

Edit: It looks like the HDD has got a little lag, when I set it to 1 minute it turns off after ~3-4.

You have changed the options in the profil witch you use? There is maybe the mistake but a reebot is always god
