What do you want to know? Sleeper is a control panel that allows you to let a hard disk stop spinning after a while. While doing stuff on a computer it will access the hard disk regularly and after each access it will be spinning for a while. You cannot help that. A floppy drive or a floptical drive will stop spinning as soon as the system doesn't need to access the disk, making the computer quite bit more silent. Listmember Jo Hissel told me, when I met him at the now internationally famous Klokhuisdag, he knows about other optical drives that also stop spinning right after the computer finished access of the disk. So it might be possible there are more options to choose from when looking for a silent disk drive. I hope to be able to report about them in the future.
