Secondary M2 SSD operates continuously without power.
Secondary M2 SSD operates continuously without power.
Hello everyone, I've been observing something unusual with my laptop. It has one M2 SSD since I got it, and last year I bought another M2 SSD (there was an extra free slot). However, it seems like the second drive never powers down at all—it just stays active most of the time. I believe the secondary SSD doesn't enter a sleep state and remains on continuously. This is worrying because it could affect both disk longevity and battery usage. My primary SSD, which I've had for about three years, shows around 3334 hours of power-on time, while the secondary has almost triple that (8181 hours). It was a brand new drive when I bought it, and I remember seeing zero hours at the time. How can I make the secondary SSD enter sleep mode? Thanks for any advice.
