I run my os and programs off of a 1tb SSD, but I also keep a HDD for media/xfer files.
After a recent pc upgrade I changed out 2 320gb HDD's with a new 500gb HDD.
My problem is it won't shut up. Its constantly spinning and making HDD noises.
Nothing is being accessed from the HDD, after I installed windows 10 i noticed it put some partion on the HDD for windows files, so I formated again, and disconnected the HDD while installing windows so that NO windows files are on it.
Still it keeps spinning. No clue what its doing.
And its... Really.... Loud....
Anyway to shut this thing up? It was only $21 for a new, Seagate 500gb 7200rpm, but I'm going to have get a SSD as my extra media drive if I can't get this thing to shut up.
