I’m reviewing the steps to set the hard drive spin down feature for your LSI HBA in Windows 10. The process involves editing the registry correctly, ensuring the right machine and PCI settings are used. You should create a new key named "EnableIdlePowerManagement" with the value dword:00000001, then set its data type to REG_SZ and apply it under the appropriate path. Make sure you’re using the correct syntax and that the machine’s PCI code matches what you found. Double-check the location and permissions before saving.
Sure, everything seemed a bit complex at first. I made the adjustment and restarted. Thank you for your patience and for guiding me through this. Appreciate it!
Updated the settings, restarted the system, but the drives haven't spun down as expected. It looks like the necessary registry changes were made, though results aren't what we hoped. Not sure if additional steps are needed for the SAS expander—it seems it only uses the PCIE port for power. I'm continuing to search online for a possible fix. Appreciate your assistance so far!
Checked the Power Options under Hard Disk settings. Link provided for more details.
