my new system is a studio cat Platinum tower. According to the Builder the top USB slots stay powered constantly so as to keep chargeable peripherals plugged in. The ones on the back are supposed to power down but after powering down and coming back to the studio in the morning the blue light on the hard drive, the PG hard drive, is still on.
I am assuming these are not solid state drives. I also don't feel any vibration like it's spinning.

and yes I do hit the shutdown switch and not sleep...
