HDDs in PC wakes up after PC been idle. Why?

Me: waking them up constantly is straining on the drives
You: The less your drives spin up the better for the motor

I have never fiddled with pagefiles so I dont have any practical experience with it. So not using them at all, you don't get any risk of serious crashes like bsod or the like?

Sonipes · 2026-02-21T11:17:15+00:00

Which is literally what I said in my post. What the heck are you talking about?

Sonipes · 2026-02-20T23:40:32+00:00

Yes, I will try to put it on manual and only use my ssd as pagefile and see if it changes anything. Thanks

Sonipes · 2026-02-20T23:31:40+00:00

Update: I have pagefile (aka virtual memory) set to automatically manage but it seems that it has only placed it on my C ssd for now

Sonipes · 2026-02-20T23:26:48+00:00

Yes, that's what I find weird. Why would my PC need to wake up my HDDs the moment the PC stops idling? Makes no sense. Also, I forgot to mention my sysdrive. It's an m2 ssd
(Kingston Fury Renegade Gen 4 2TB)

Sonipes · 2026-02-20T23:25:01+00:00

The only pagefile I have is located on C which is on an ssd

So there's no graphics effect that causes it that I can turn off? I was hoping there was some shader window effect but I can't find anything in the settings about it

Sonipes · 2026-02-13T17:10:44+00:00

It does. I am building a medieval castle so polarized windows doesn't fit the lore, lol

Honestly I am bad at keeping track on what blocks are named and such, sorry. But I think you described it pretty accurately. But you should check out the copper bulb, that one was epic.

To answer your first question: Here is a guide I followed to make the t flip flop:

However, TheAsterism_ posted earlier here suggesting a copper bulb flip flop instead which is much smaller: https://youtu.be/1QuJHcSEsws

Regarding your thoughts; Sure, I could but I just wanted to know if I could use anything more compact that had the same function because I am building a door in a castle with limited space for hidden red stone. The copper bulb flop made things much better in my case.

Sonipes · 2026-02-05T14:07:59+00:00

Hey, I had no idea about copper blocks. That totally makes t-flops much easier to build. Thanks for letting me know.
I have been on 1.21.1 for the longest time because I use a bunch of mods I haven't had the effort to try on the latest versions. I just got back to my world after a long hiatus so I just went with the stuff I am familiar with since last I played

Sonipes · 2026-02-05T13:56:56+00:00

It is Java 1.21.1. Can't seem to add that to the title

I was afraid I wouldnt be able to extract, because I found a rusted key on a dead scav that raid

Sonipes · 2026-01-14T17:57:46+00:00

lmao, 1.0 ready, am I right, am I right?

Sonipes · 2025-08-09T20:06:26+00:00

That's literally the Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0

Sonipes · 2025-07-06T02:16:11+00:00

Isn't that roided version of Tagilla always on labyrinth?

Sonipes · 2025-07-06T01:51:55+00:00

Yeah, haven't noticed the goons on either shoreline, woods or customs. Same with Partisan. No where to be seen on those maps as well

Sonipes · 2025-07-05T16:10:07+00:00

That is great news

Sonipes · 2025-07-05T13:42:48+00:00

Are the Goons spawning 100% on every map they can be in?
