dock-wait script contains:
RAID=/dev/sdd

This may not be reliable because /dev nodes frequently change between
reboots. You're better off using /dev/disk/by-... any of them are
better than node. You can use label, uuid, wwn, whatever.

I actually use a udev rule for idle spin down:

 $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/69-hdparm.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", \
  KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", \
  ENV{ID_SERIAL_SHORT}=="WDZ47F0A", \
  RUN+="/usr/sbin/hdparm -B 100 -S 252 /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c500a93cae8a"
$
