Hi.
This really only gives you savings on laptops - on desktops as you say
it is quite useless. It would cope with someone logging on via FTP, as
the FTP server requests the file, thus the drive comes up. It would be
more useful if you could set a specific drive to do this. On some
systems with in-built RAID, it may not even ever turn off, because the
system would have to tell the controller to turn the disks off, and the
controller may be accessing the disks quite often aanyhow.
Andrew.

Hi all.
I'm wondering about PW in control panel.
If I set something like the hard drives to turn off after a period of
time=20
does this put the machine in standby, or simply power off each drive
that=20
hasn't been accessed after a set number of minutes?
In which case presumeably the system drive would not go off after ten=20
minutes because I'm signed into an IM client and somebody inevabidly
signs=20
into it thus causing a tooltip, and the system drive or ram to be
accessed?
Also would a drive come to life even by a remote request? For example=20
somebody wants to list a folder on an ftp server I have.
Just a few ponderings.
