problem: everytime I open apps,... always , disc spin up delay !!!???
what's the point of having a fast desktop,... when you always have to wait ,...
in power saving , selected , sleep disc whenever possible,
to save power, and noise
got about 6 sata discs, and do want them to sleep, and stay sleep
anyway to fix this ?!

could the problem be that 1: you have noisy discs, 2: they're always not spinning, and 3: whatever you're doing is not already loaded into RAM?

there even imac mac pro users with that problem,....
external drives behave a little better, and spotlight is not the solution,...
there got to be somewhere some settings to disable hitting all the drives, for every action,...

i have the same problem in my Laptop Maxdata pro800iw...
core2duo t5300
945 chipset
the disk is spinning down after a few secs of inactivity then spins up upon menu click for example.
any solution to turn off disc spin down completely?
the setting in power savings "if possible put drives to sleep" is already turned off.
in bios i couldnt find an option for this.
anyone have a solution for this problem?
