Hello,

Can someone please tell me how to disable one specific SATA port let's say P1 ?

I have 2 HDD and I want to disable one of them without having to open each time the case and disable power connector from the HDD

I saw the option to disable all SATA ports but I could not disable only one of them

Regards

I dont know the reason why you want to hid the drive
If it is to change boot drive, then you can use the boot menu (F12 i believe)

You may be able to deselect the drive in BIOS before you boot. Not sure if your BIOS allows that or not
You can check Advance - Storage Config

The main reason is I have 2 HDD with 2 systems installed. And sometimes I won't use one of them for some days, so I want to reduce noise and power consumption (not really) of my rig by disabling it in the bios without opening the case each time and unplugging the power connector.

I looked in storage options and did not find the option unfortunately :(

I only found the option to disable all SATA ports which is ridiculous
