Idle internal HDD

[netsrohT]

I just updated my Openelec (3.2.4) to the most recent version (5.0.1). Thanks for the new release!

Everything is running smothly except that I miss the an option in power savings menu to idle internal HDD.

I read about hd-idle script, but it seems to work with external drives only.

Is there a way to power down internal drives in 5.0.1?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Thorsten

hi there !

did you check in your bios options if there is such an option available?

Hi,

yes, I did. Unfortunately, there is no option available.

Perhaps, I overlooked the option.. I am using a MSI E350IA-45 (AMD Fusion E-350) board. Could anyone confirm that there is no option in the BIOS?

Nevertheless, I prefere to set it via software to be hardware independent.

Cheers,
Thorsten

It also works fine with 5.0.1
