I use IDE and have 3 harddrives of the same type. They are Hitachi Deskstar
180GXP.

Now sometimes one of them go to sleep-mode and then spin up again. It
happens every now and sound like i would be booting my computer. But i am
using my computer, so i don't understand why Vista is powering my harddrives
up and down even while i am working on my PC.

How can i stop this? Is there a option like.. "don't put harddisk to sleep
if not accessed" ?

I would rather like my HDDs spinning smoothly all the time.

PS: i already have my power settings on maximum performance.

TIA!
