Windows 10: Suggestion for masking HDD spin up times in machines with SSD system

Suggestion for masking HDD spin up times in machines with SSD system
I frequently have to wait for my HDDs to spin up when I want to browse the folder hierarchy with Windows Explorer but I have an idea that would eliminate this. Is there any reason that a record of the folder hierarchy of each drive couldn't be stored on the SSD (as an option which could be turned off if your SSD is small or whatever); that way I'd be able to navigate my folders whilst the drives are still spinning up? If I reached my destination before the drives have spun up then obviously I still have to wait a little before my file is opened but I'd still be waiting less time.

Check your setting in Power Plan, and increase the time or set it to "never".

I don't know and have not heard of such an option as you mention.

I don't want my HDDs to never stop spinning; that's a waste of electricity and an unnecessary load on the bearings.
I wasn't asking whether anyone had heard of the option I described; I was suggesting it as a possible feature.

Sorry, was just trying to address what I thought was a question.

Hello,
Well as you can see in the screenshot Vuze is running, up 5 times apparently!
It isn't obviously, and I can only right click on the icon on the lower right, but this is annoying. Any ideas of how to resolve it?
