HDD Switch logo

HDD Switch by DataCare Labs

Spin hard disks down and up, without unplugging them.

Lists every physical drive in your PC and sends real power commands to the hard disk you choose, so its platters stop or start again without unplugging anything. The state you see comes from the drive itself.

  • Spin Down and Spin Up for SATA, USB and SAS-connected disks
  • Shows model, drive number and serial before anything is sent
  • Warns you when the drive is in use

  • Health of every HDD and SSD, read from the drive's own SMART data
  • Drive temperatures in the Windows taskbar
  • Honest results: a value it cannot read shows "Not available", never a guess
