I was listening to my Hard drive , when running Ubuntu.I could hear the disk heads parking , but the disk itself doesn't spin down.It spins down -standby mode- when one runs 'hdparm -y /dev/sda'.It stayed in standby for quite a long time.Doesn't this seem a little odd ?I thought it was spinning down when the disk heads parked .
