I was wondering if I'm in the right thread here.
I have a Dell XPS 8700. I'm using SATA Mode AHCI (no raid). I have one SSD and one mechanical SATA disc.My driver is the "Intel 8 Series/C220 Chipset" version : 12.8.0.1016. Operating system : Windows 8.1
Problem is when shutting down, the mechanical drive spins up (if asleep), shuts down, spins up again and shuts down again before the machine turns off. Is this the same problem people in this thread has ?
So if I'm in the right thread here, I see there are some "solutions" for RAID users. What about me who doesn't use RAID.?
This behavior, can it be damaging to the hard drive ? It's seems to me, by the sound of it, that it spins up again before the harddrive have completly spun down/shut down (mechanically).
