Really Ralf, all hard Drives will spin down that are from Europe no 
matter if you tell the graphical front end to NOT spin down the drive 
wow, crazy.... Plus I've always been told its VERY BAD to spin the drive 
down because the constant starting the head and stopping the head will 
cause the hard drive to fail faster than it should and to leave that 
off. I remember being told that in the windows days, because I used the 
spin down after 10 min of no use, way back when I started messing with 
pcs now I would prob set Kubuntu 12.04 to an hour or so of no use.

Thanks,
