My original setup is a defiance 2 with a 240gb SSD. Yesterday I bought and installed an 1tb secondary HDD,not ssd. It is the Western Digital WD10SPCX , the same model pc specialist has in the configuration list.
I opened up the laptop, installed the secondary hdd, formatted it, then copied my stuff from an external hdd,basicaly movies and videos.
All good and nice, now I don't have to fiddle with my external hdd. The only problem is that it seem this hdd SPINS ALL THE TIME. Doestn't matter if it's in use or not,just keeps on spinning . The problem is that it can be heard if quiet , gets warm and also drains the battery .

What is the solution to this ?
