I have two laptops (Windows 10) and a mini-PC (Windows 11) with external USB hard drives connected. The "Turn off hard disk after" setting is set to 10 minutes on all devices, but the drives turn off at different times on each machine. One shuts off around 2 minutes, another at 3, another at 6, and during RDP sessions, it’s even shorter (one of them even turns off HDDs after 5 seconds which was driving me crazy). I'm using the same Hard Drives to test individually on each PC.
It seems like the timer is only respected if it's below an unknown max limit that varies per PC (if I set to it to 1 min it will turn off after 1 min). Anyone knows how to resolve this issue?
