Head parking when shutting down my desktop

February 10th, 2015, 7:57

Hello,

I'm experiencing something new on my new Desktop with two of my Seagate HDDs.

Those ST31000524AS seems to head-park when I shutdown my computer.
This behavior is related with my new motherboard (Asus Maximus VII Hero - AHCI activated for my SSD) even I've disabled every power saving features (bios & windows 8.1).

The sound isn't freaky, kinda like a wake up and it slows down a little my shutdown.

It's not annoying but I'd like to understand... and to know if it's a threat for my HDDs' life.

I don't have any alert (Smart, Crystal Disk info, Seatools) and experiencing a very stable use, Seatools sees nothing and the firmware of the HDDs are up to date.

Thank you for your help !
