I've tried this. I have about the quietest fan possible, but any consistant droning noise will set off this screeching in my head. Even the ultrasonic rat alarm does the trick. Now I know what rats have to go through. But logically, I've moved all the temp folders to the ram drive, and so it should be running the drive at all. But some random process makes a milisecond click, and the drive starts up for another 3 min. I tried downloading something called revosleep. but it refuses to sleep my drive. I read online that in windows 2003 server, there's a drive sleep "disk timeout" setting which goes down to 20 seconds, but on XP, it only goes as low as three minutes. I was hoping there was a hack to lower this time out, without having to change operating systems.
