|
|
Hello, I want to ask about one option, if it is not present it could be added in the new release.
I have Hard Disk to which there is not any letter assigned, They are working as a physical drive and there are not present in the My Computer Folder. They could be found in the system, in the device manager and with other HD Tools. I am speaking just about normal connected SATA HDD not in RAID.
When I start revoSleep that Hard Drive is not shown and I cannot be taken into sleep mode. I will be happy if you put in the new release the option to switch off drives without drive letters. (I didn't find that option)
Best Regards |

Any news?
Is there any hope for that kind of function? |

I have the same Problem.
I got a Drive with the entire partition encrypted with TrueCrypt.
So the original hard drive doesn't got a drive letter and because of there is no "normal" partition on the drive its not schon in revosleep. |

Same problem here.
I have a HDD with only a HFS+ partition on it, which I would like to send to sleep when working in Windows. |

Just found hdparm for Windows: http://hdparm-win32.dyndns.org/hdparm/
It's a command line tool, but works fine for me.
"hdparm -y hda" sends your first harddrive to standby, "hdparm -y hdb" the second one, "hdparm -y hdc" the third... I guess you get the point
If you are not sure, which one is the right one, you can display information about the disk with "hdparm -C hda" and so on...
Hope this helps until this is supported in revoSleep.
PS: hdparm -Y sends disk to sleep mode, which normally consumes a tiny bit less energy but is NORMALLY NOT RECOMMENDED!! |
