Secondary HDD hard drive spin down abruptly when shutting down or restarting

[Ginés Utrera Pavón]

I have recently replaced the main HDD of my ASUS a53s laptop with an SSD. I have placed the HDD hard drive in the SATA port where the DVD drive was located. I have not had any problems and the speed of my system has increased a lot. However, I have noticed that every time I turn off the system, a click of the needle of the HDD hard disk sounds, as if it were turned off suddenly (this did not happen when it was placed in the main SATA port). Could you do some configuration in Ubuntu to avoid this? Thank you very much.

I have knowledge of Ubuntu at the user level and I do not know which package may be affected.

[Ginés Utrera Pavón (myzras)]

I have been able to solve it temporarily by putting the hard disk in stand-by using the "hdparm -y" command.
