    idle power consumption higher with SATA hot plug enabled


    The idle power consumption of my ASUS B560 board increases from 9W to 16W as soon as I enable SATA hot plug for one port in BIOS. Unfortunately I would need this feature for several internal SATA devices (HDD swap racks, backup disks, etc.)

    Any ideas to
    • reduce idle consumption when SATA hot plug is enabled OR
    • mount devices manually without that BIOS option? (devcon rescan is not sufficient)


    Regards

    When you use sata hot plug as a result hipm and dipm don't work so the power consumption is higher. This is how it works.

    I see. Thank you for the explanation.

    Is there a way to
    - enable/disable HOT Plugging and HIPM + DIPM from running windows or
    - mount devices manually without that BIOS option?
