To save power, can the HDD drive be turned off ? null

Clearly "goob" and "worksforgeeksquad" missed the part about this laptop where it clearly states "2TB HDD + 512GB SSD". To answer your question, you would not save any power by powering down the 2TB HDD (which uses platters, not an SSD.) I'm going to yank the 2TB drive out and simply replace it with the SSD drive from my old laptop, however, until I need more room.

No, the laptop needs the HDD to run, the OS is on the Hard drive too!

lol there is no hdd in this laptop only the ssd
