    I bought a new laptop which is hybrid in terms of storage. I'm not using the HDD for now so I wanted to stop it. In advanced power plan settings I set "turn off Hard Disk after" to 1 min. but It takes at least 5 mins for it to stop spinning after I boot the computer. I tried creating a custom power plan but it didin't work either. Any ideas?
