Folders pinned to Explorer Quick Access keep hard disk running?
Hi all,
I use a high capacity SATA spinning hard disk for storing media, and recently tried pinning folders from the disk to Win Explorer's 'quick access' tab on the left side, for convenience.
Usually when I try to access the drive there is a slight delay as I have my power plan options set to turn off hard disks after 20 minutes.
I'm worried that keeping a directory pinned to Quick access is constantly keeping my drive on as there is no delay anymore now.
Anyone have more insight on this topic? I want to prolong the life of the drive and keep usage minimal as it's mainly a backup drive.
