AMD Raid Driver - Spinning down HDD Raid Array

Hi everyone.

I've been using two HDD Raid 0 arrays in my computer for the last two years and never got the hard drives to spin down when not in use. I've been looking everywhere and could not find any option to spin down the drives when using the AMD Raid Driver. I'm using the following configuration :

R3600 on B450 MSI Tomahawk Max motherboard

Windows 10 1909 with AMD balanced power plan and HDD spindown set to 20 minutes in the power plan options

AMD Raid Driver 9.3.0.296 with SMART polling disabled in RAIDXpert2

Some of these drives see very unfrequent usage and I'd be really glad if there was an option somewhere to have them stop spinning, for both my ears and my power bill.

Thanks for any help or consideration implementing the option.
