IDE Drive Power Down When set to Enabled (the default), IDE Drive
Power Down allows most EIDE hard-disk
drives to automatically switch into low-power
mode after a specified period of system
inactivity (called a time-out). The time-out
period is set with the Inactivity Timer category.
When the IDE Drive Power Down category is
set to Disabled, hard-disk drives do not switch
into low-power mode.
