B650 Hard Disk Spin-Up

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just got a B650 PG Lightning and every time you start the computer it takes its sweet time POSTing or what have you spinning up each hard drive one by one. This really adds an unreasonable amount of boot time with only two hard disks.

What is really unreasonable is having each drive spin up again during a restart, when the drives were already powered on and spinning. This is just a waste of time and power on cycles for the disks compared to every system board I have personally used in the past 20 years or so.

Is there any BIOS options to change this behavior? Anything else I am overlooking?
