Ноутбук Acer ASPIRE V3-571G-736b8G75BDCaii. Конфигурация 3630QM, 8 Gb оперативки, чипсет HM77, операционная система Windows 8.1 для одного языка была предустановлена. Вместо привода в optibay вставлен винчестер которым ноутбук комплектовался при покупке, а система была перенесена на SSD Vertex 4 вставленный в разъем SATA. Так вот, винчестер в оптибее ведёт себя неадекватно - он постоянно засыпает, буквально через пару минут после того как к нему нет никаких обращений. Причем дело тут вовсе не в винчестере и не в оптибее, так как в другом оптибее он ведет себя так же. При подключении по шине USB ситуация аналогичная. Но если же его подключить в стационарный компьютер он работает прекрасно и по шине SATA, и через тот же USB переходник, которым подключался к ноутбуку.

В параметрах питания USB - "Параметр временного питания USB-порта" выставил "Запрещено" для всех режимов, но ситуация улучшилась лишь частично. Винчестер перестал засыпать только когда подключен по USB и ноутбук подключен к сети питания, но если же он работает от батареи, то опять засыпает, как будто Windows плевать хотел на настройки параметров электропитания USB. В оптибее засыпает так же в любом случае и параметра питания шины по которой он подключен просто нет. Отсюда возникает вопрос - где в системе запрятана эта настройка, которая регламентирует политику питания более тонко?

Кстати, все три порта USB перебрал, куда не подключаю изменений нет. Так что проблема тут явно не "железного" характера. Обновления системы устанавливаю и драйвера систематически обновляю.

I have a laptop Acer ASPIRE V3-571G-736b8G75BDCaii, its configuration 3630QM, 8 Gb RAM, chipset HM77, Windows 8.1 for a single language that was preinstalled. I have been installed optibay with HDD which came with laptop instead of Blu-Ray Drive. Operation system was moved to SSD Vertex 4 on SATA bus. So, the HDD in optibay is not working properly - he always falls asleep, just a couple of minutes after no one call to it. And trouble is not in optibay because another one behaves the same way. When the HDD connected via USB bridge the situation is similar, it falls asleep. But when it plugged in desktop computer it works perfectly via SATA, and through the USB adapter too. In power settings "Parameter of temporary supply USB" was set "Disabled" for all modes, but the situation has improved only partially. The HDD ceased to fall asleep only when connected via USB and the laptop is connected to AC power, but if it runs out of battery, then it go to sleep again after couple of minutes being inactive, it looks that it spit on the Windows settings Power USB. In optibay it falls asleep in any case and I see no any parametrs of DVD-bus or somthing like this bus. This begs the question - where in the system, this setting is hidden, which regulates power supply policy thinner? Incidentally, I tried to plug to all USB-ports on the laptop but nothing changes. So the problem here is clearly not with the USB-port. The operating system is automatically updated and I also updated the drivers.

    I chose the values ​​of both parameters "from battery" and "from AC" (I have a Russian version, so the names of parameters may be different) to "never" for active mode. But nothing changes...

    Before changes these parameters were 10 and 15 minutes respectively. Although there is one solution - do not turn off the torrent client.

    I created a new power plan based on maximum performance. Configured it that the hard drive never fell asleep. But nothing has changed.
