I use a desktop computer designed for graphics and photo production with 3 removable computer cabinet drives and two computer cabinet internal stripped array drives.
So, I suspect that the hard drives may not turn off in using the start icon sleep option. I seems that the system restores from sleep with a few seconds. Would that be enough time for the drives to spin up and initialize?
