    Hard Disk: Turn Off Hard Disk After

    Spinning the hard disk doesn’t consume a lot of juice. Plus, the power saved by turning off the drive varies depending on the manufacturer. For extreme battery savings, set the idle/turn off time to 10 or 20 minutes. Keep in mind that this time limit should be shorter than that set for putting the machine to sleep; otherwise, you’ll see no change in battery life.

    :)

    hdd spinning does not consume a lot of electricity so, basically turning it off will not have a noticeable benefit
