Maybe the USB enclousure disallows this information to be passed to the
disk. You can attach the drive directly to a sata/ide host controller and
issue the "hdparm" command from there. Then, put the disk back into the
USB case.

May I ask why you need to get this done? What problem are you
experiencing with sleep mode? I'm just curious :-?

Continously performing random/untargeted operations on the drive may
gratuitously short the hard disk live :-/
