How do I keep HDD from turning off?
I have a laptop with an SSD and HDD. Windows is installed on the SSD, but because the SSD only has 250GB some of the larger programs are installed on the HDD. My problem is, when I'm using one of those programs if I leave it alone for a few minutes and then go back there is an annoying period of a few seconds that I have to wait before the program responds, because the disk is starting to spin. I already went to battery setting and set for the disk to never turn off, but I think it only works for the disk where the OS is installed. Is there a way to fix this?
