I have an Adaptec 1405, and because my Athena Power Enclosure is a bit noisy, I would like to keep those drives powered down when I don't need them. Unfortunately as soon as I boot, the controller notices that the drives are missing and doesn't like it, which then messes up my boot order, and basically I don't boot into Windows unless I change the controller bios settings, and or motherboard bios settings. *(os drives are on motherboard raid)

I figured since its hot swappable, I could just turn them off but apparently not? or is there a setting I could use so if the drive array is off the controller justs skips them?

Thanks!
