We have the WDC WD15EADS-00P8B0 1.5 TB Caviar Green drives.
Unfortunately, these drives have the "fixed" firmware and the 8
second idle timeout cannot be changed.
That sounds like a laptop spec, not a server spec! How silly. Maybe
you can set up a tickle job to stop them idling during busy periods. :(

Since we starting replacing these drives in our pool about 6 weeks
ago (replacing 1 drive per week), the drives has registered almost
40,000 Load Cycles (head parking cycles). At this rate, they won't
last more than a year. :( Neither the wdidle3 nor the wdtler
utilities will work with these drives.
The RE2/RE4-GP drives can be configured with a 5 minute idle timeout.
