Hi,
I'm planning to include in my new build a secondary HDD (the main disk will be SSD, of course). The purpose of the HDD will be storage, and having a partition for holding the hibernationfile (so that the sleep image doesn't wear the SSD).
Do you have any experiences with the 6TB WD Blue HDD on OSX? Does it get into power saving when idle on OSX? Any issues?
My goal would be that this drive is in power saving, with the motors off most of the time, because I want a silent computer and because I'll only access the drive when making OSX sleep or for storage.
