  1. Hi everyone! I use win7 and i recently bought a brand new internal hard disk (1TB) which i splitted in two partitions and made it as my "main hard disk" on which letting run the o.s. Together with this new one, i have another 2 internal HDD (one is Maxtor and i can't remember the other's mark) and 3 external ones (whose two are Maxtors and the last is a Treckstor) Now, u can even "count off" the Treckstor one since it does have a button to turn it on or off when i need it (usually kept it off, cuz i use it only as "storage" every now and then) Even before having the brand new internal HDD i was having moments in which the two external maxtors were activating themselves alone even while i wasn't using them at all, but this never really bothered me as i, somewhat, thought it was "normal" (i'm definitely not a pc expert) But now that i have the brand new internal HDD, i started to see this thing as a sort of "problem": because the two external maxtors (especially one of them), together with the one other internal maxtor, are getting to be activated by themselves when i'm not opening/executing/doing anything from their directories nor files. The problem comes because this *suddenly* activation of one of those HDD while i'm truly not using them has started to temporarily block everything i'm doing on my (new) main HDD: be it surfing the internet or watching a video or writing a text.. anything, it just gets blocked for 10-20 seconds, and then once the *not asked* maxtor has started to run itself, everything gets back to normal on my main hdd and i can use it back again.. But i just don't get why this happens, and if i can do anything to stop it. ps: yeah i have to say that this happens only with the maxtor ones, as long as i noticed, the other non-maxtor internal hdd never gave me those problems (nor did the treckstor one, who i can keep turned off all the time i do not use it, sadly i dont have the buttons to keep off the other two external maxtor hdd as well) Thank you for listening in advance, i hope someone knows any solution ;w;
