[QUOTE="nachttier, post: 324933, member: 44061"] Hi, as far as i know AAM has nothing to do with with power saving or making the drive to spin down. It is just for improving the drive's acoustics (see [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Acoustic_Management]Automatic Acoustic Management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]). I would suggest to double check the power profile of vista, since I think vista takes full control of the power management. It also might be that the motherboard's BIOS has some power saving feature, so checking the settings there might also be worth it, although I doubt that the BIOS can overwrite Vista's settings. Kind regards, nachttier [/QUOTE]
