Re: How do I power save a HDD?

One solution is to pull it out and put it into an external USB hard drive
enclosure, and power that on ONLY when you need to make a backup. Works
well for me (in conjunction with Acronis True Image).

I have just installed another HDD just for
ghost backups.

I do not want this disk to spin all the time,
so how can I power it down when not in use,
yet leave the main (other) HDD going?

Please help, Frank
