Hello,
I did have a problem with my hdd.
The HDD did have sound of shutdown constantly, but powered.

And this is the solution:
Insert in registry with regedit:

For W8:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorV\Parameters]
“Port0AAM”=dword:000000fe
“Port0APM”=dword:000000ff
“Port1APM”=dword:000000ff
“Port1AAM”=dword:000000fe

For others versions check the font:

This disable AAM and APM.

Thanks!
