Hi all, Happy new year.

Just a quick check. My hdd seems to idle after a while after i did my stuffs like watching video or surfing net. Whenever i try to access the hdd, the response is not as quick as it is compare to when the pc just starup.

Is this normal? And can it be manage? It is not a issue here, just for my personal knowledge only. Tried googling, but i dont even know where to start searching for my answer, hence seeking for advise here :)

My new rig
Asus b85 trooper + i3 4160
zotac 2gb 960
2 x 4gb ddr3 1033
250gb ssd
4tb hdd
win 7 home

better to let it idle than spin 7200rpm all the time when not using
