Ultrabay HDD Adapter/Power Management?

#1 Post by tannerj » Sun Jun 06, 2010 4:18 pm

Hey guys,

One thing I've been wondering about the ultrabay adapter is if there's anyway to control power options specifically for that drive? I'd really like to have it setup so that my ultrabay drive doesn't spin up every time I wake up the machine, and just spins up when I need to access it. Any ideas?

Just disable it Braddah, easy as that.

It's probably not suitable for your application, but I don't use my drive often so I take it right out and use a blank plate for the bay. Works for me. Makes the machine lighter, too, as I'm toting it around.
