Get hard drive to spin up upon mouse movement
- by John
My storage drive which does not contain the OS stops spinning after a few minutes. This is annoying and totally defeats the purpose of having a fast access drive. The drive will NOT spin up when I use the mouse! It only spins up when accessed.
However, I don't want it to spin all the time. I would like it to spin up anytime there is mouse activity so it is at the ready when I am using the computer, but go to sleep during inactivity.
Can anyone think of a trick to get a secondary drive to spin up on a mouse movement?
