[Wylug-help] hard drive sleep? .

[Dick W]

Hi all

not sure if this is possible or not

but this is the situation
I have my desktop pc with 2 hard drives
1*500gb (Gentoo linux)
1*120gb (windows & play bsd install)

now when running windows for some reason cooling isn't an issue
but when running linux the pc seems to over heat very quickly  and as use
windows not very often and for games

so to save the life exp and reduce heat from the 120gb hard drive is there a
method to turn it off?
or a standby that works better then the bios one

thanks

Dick
