Launcher spin up all HDD's(1)Category: Technical SupportJuly-17-2016 5:59 AM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi.
I have D3 installed on main SDD drive. I have also 3x HDD which are in sleep mode most of the time.
Why Blizzard launcher spins up all HDD drives every time I start it?
None of windows data or dependencies are located on other drive than SSD.
Windows7 x64.
Any ideas how to prevent waking up unused drives?

sp5it,

I suppose it could be a setting in the Desktop App. If you open the App, and select it at the top left "blue icon", click "Settings", then "Game Install/Update". Scroll down to where you find the option to Scan for Games and uncheck it if it's enabled. That's about all I can think it might be if it's indeed the launcher querying those drives.
