The lack of user activity can make a hard drive switch to sleep mode, making it quite annoying when you finally do something and you have to wait a few seconds for the hard drive to start again. This situation can be avoided entirely with the help of Prevent Disk Sleep. This lightweight utility will give your hard drive something simple to do, every now and again, so that it won't go to sleep mode.

Prevent Disk Sleep is a freeware application and it works on all modern Windows platforms. Its setup package is small and installing its components takes only a few seconds, even on modest machines. There are no special requirements you have to meet, so you can run the application right away.

When launched, Prevent Disk Sleep will detect your installed drives automatically. If you know which of your hard drives is the one that keeps falling asleep, you only need to select it in a drop menu, on the application's compact user interface, and click a Button. This will create a plain text file on the targeted drive, in which the application will periodically write the current date and hour. You can decide how often the software should update the file, by specifying a time frame on its interface.

The software works with standard mechanical drives. You can use it on your primary or secondary drive. What's more, it supports other storage devices as well, regardless if they are local or external.

With Prevent Disk Sleep working on your computer, you will never have to worry about your hard drive going to sleep mode.


Pros

A single click is all it takes to prevent a hard drive from going to sleep mode. The application works with primary and secondary mechanical drives, regardless if they are local or external.

Cons

There are no obvious issues to address.
