Hard Drive goes to Sleep
I have an HP Pavilion desktop pc (model no 500-120ea) running Windows 10. After a few minutes of not requiring access the built in hard drive (C drive) appears to go sleep. The reason I say that is that if I suddenly need access e.g.. to open or save a file I hear the hard drive starting up or speeding up and it takes several seconds for the action I am trying to execute to take place. This can be rather tiresome and I was wondering if there is a setting I could adjust to extend the time lapse before the hard drive powers down? The current setting in the power plan has the computer going to sleep after 3 hours.
