turning off an unused hard drive

[king_coy]

guys, pwede ba natin i-off ang unused hard drive na connected sa pc? wa pa man gyud koy rack or external enclosure. dili sab ko ganahan na open pirmi ang case para unplug ang drive.

duha man ang akong drive, seagate and maxtor. m using seagate as primary and maxtor is mainly for backup purposes.

pwede raba na disable cya sa device manager? if so, continuous pa ba ang spinning ng hard drive kahit disabled cya? as in, wa na cya sa lists of drives sa my computer?
