to Chrischan : Thanks for notifying people about the fact that some harddisks use too aggressive power management settings. In your case Western Digital uses it as a selling point for this particular drive.
from http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=336 : "Reduced power consumption - By adjusting the rotational speed, using bigger data buffers, parking the drive's head, and optimizing how the drive seeks and caches data we have reduced the power consumption by up to 38 percent." Please use the support thread for further questions.
