Installed Win10 - delayed response in secondary hard drives

[md99]

Don't know if this is some kind of power saving feature, a setting I've not unchecked or if I have a problem.

Win10 is running flawlessly (installed on my primary ssd) but when I open my other hard drives (non-ssd) to access stored data there is a delay of three or four seconds before the files in them are accessible.

I can hear the drives booting up/spinning. All the data on them is fine.

Problem?

Right click the start button>Power options. Click change plan settings>change advanced settings>hard disk and set the sleep time to 0 (meaning never).

edit: I'm on 8.1 but I'm pretty sure the option names are the same.

Cool. Will give it a shot tonight.

Thanks
