Seagate Backup Plus drive always spinning

Dear forum members,

I recently purchased a 4TB Backup Plus series external USB disco. The disk, unlike another Toshiba drive, always remains active, even when it is not used.

The power management feature in Windows is activated only when the computer goes in stand-by.

I already contacted Seagate support who does not know, and there's no upgrade for the firmware. On TV I got the same issue. Once the disc is started even if I only watch TV, the disk remains active while the Toshiba does not. The drive remains active, like always spinning.

Do you have any suggestions?

Kind Regards.

Dear Andre, thanks for answering.

I primarily stored movies on the drive. Windows 10 is left with its default values. I see that indexing is currently active.

But as I said, I suppose it's a firmware issue since on a Samsung TV the drive behaves the same way while the Toshiba does not.
