Data drive question

[Modena]

I have a Crucial 128GB SSD as my OS/Program drive, and a 750GB WD Black drive which contains all my music/movies/photos etc. My issue is that it goes offline or into like a stand-by mode after a certain period of time. So lets say I go to open itunes, it will take 8-10 seconds for it to access the drive and load up the program with my music. It's definitely going into some stand-by type mode, because I can hear when it goes into it, and when it comes out of it when I open a program or file that happens to be on the HDD. So I wanted to know if there is a way to disable that so my access is instant. Any info appreciated, thank you.

Could it be the "Turn off hard disk after" setting in the Power Options?

Aye, it will be what Rabbit01 said, I used to have the same problem as well. Since changing the option it hasn't been an issue.

With issues with devices going into stanby mode, checking the power settings is always a good idea, I found that out the hard way when my external SSD kept powering down in the middle of a backup x.x.

But I hope the proposed solution works for you
