How to idle a HDD

by windranger . Updated 13 years, 10 months ago

On my desktop PC, beside the main HDD with the master-partition I also use a separate HDD which I actually access quite rarely, say once a week.

So I want to know if there’s any application utility out there which can let me stop the HDD when I don’t need it running and restart it when I need it.
I want to reduce both the overall power consumption and the wear of the disk.

Thanks.
