Hi.
Has anyone got any ideas as to why the drives in my media 'server' wont spin down?
Theres two Samsung F2 drives Mirrored, Windows is set to spin down after 15mins, but its been running all night without spinning down.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance all.

Something using the discs constantly thats preventing them spinning down?

The only things running on the box are PS3 media center which isnt used over night and uTorrent, which has been doing anything since the system was built..?

Win7 already has a diskmon like app built in.
Theres nothing obvious there that appears to be stopping them.

Any other ideas?
