Hey Everyone,
I recently installed an SSD as my primary HD, and moves my old spinning disk hard-drive to an optibay as my secondary drive (storage).
My question: Is there an option in OSX Mavericks (or a 3rd party application) that I can force the secondary optibay HD to enter into sleep-mode sooner? I checked the box in the energy saver preferences, to "Put the hard disks to sleep whenever possible" option. But wanted something with a bit more control over it.
Follow-up question: When checking the "Put the hard disks to sleep whenever possible" option, how does that work? Is there a a default time interval where it powers everything down? Does it look at running processes at the time?
Thanks in advance, all help is greatly appreciated!
