Sorry, didn't follow this thread. Are you using GNOME, Xfce?
If so, it's GVFS. Remove GVFS and you'll be happy, _but_ once you run
K3b, the KDE equivalent to GVFS will cause issues.
I suspect your drive does spin down, but it soon will spin up again.
You could strace suspect software to see what's happening.
