Wake up drives is an easy-to-use, simple piece of software designed to help users prevent their hard drives from entering a suspension state.

The main benefits of this application reside in the fact that it makes access to specific drives a much faster operation. Keeping drives alive means that the system can access them instantly, thus saving significant time to users.

By default, drives are sent to a suspension state when there are not in use, so as to save energy. However, thus also results in slow response times when the operating system initially accesses these drives after they have been suspended, and can sometimes freeze the system for several seconds.

To improve computer performance, users can take advantage of tools such as Wake up drives to prevent HDDs from being suspended and ensure that the system does not become unresponsive when they are accessed.

The program has been designed based on the idea of what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) and provides users with an intuitive, simple interface that can be operated without advanced computer knowledge.

Users can set the program to keep their hard drives alive with only a few mouse clicks, directly from the tool's main window. The utility allows them to keep only internal or external drives alive, or to prevent all of them from suspension. Moreover, they can opt to keep awake only specific partitions.

Wake up drives does not require installation to be used, a feature that can prove highly beneficial for users, as they can place it on a removable drive and take advantage of its capabilities on any computer they access.

In order to take full advantage of the program's capabilities, users simply need to extract the downloaded archive to the desired location and then to launch the x86 or x64 executable, depending on their system's configuration.

Wake up drives is a useful, snappy application that can be set to prevent specific hard drives or partitions from entering a suspension state, thus improving the overall system performance. It comes with a very simple interface and does not require advanced computer know-how to be used.
