    hello all !

    Is there any link between ReadyDrive and Windows Hybrid Hard Disk Power Saving option (You can find it by going to [Control Panel]-[Power Options]-[Change plan settings]-[Change advanced power settings]-[Hard disk]-[Windows Hybrid Hard Disk Power Savings Mode].)


    Does ReadyDrive still work normally if I disable the option?

    Thanks a lot.

    I don't have TM or a hybrid drive and the setting does not appear in mine.
    I assume you don't have a hybrid drive, there aren't many out there. And I further assume you have TM.
    So if you disable Hybrid Disk, it oughtta disable TM. But I am guessing.
    And hybrid (write caching on flash) is readydrive
