Hard Disk Status
Hello!!
I need to know whether the hard disk is on or off during the following states (in windows vista): -During Standby -During Hybrid Standby -During Hibernation Note that I mean by on that the hard disk is spinning regardless if it is reading,writing or doing nothing. Please I need an answer based on knowledge not on whether you hear the fan noise or no.  Thanks for any help!! |

During Standby, power is cut from the HDD and info for stuff you were running is stored in your RAM. During Hibernation, the info in your RAM is saved to your HDD and power is cut to the entire system.
So, in short, there is no power to your HDD in either case.
