So I have a 'spare' internal spinning rust bucket which I only use
for backups, and so most of the time when I'm not using it I put it
to sleep with:

sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sda

sorry cannot help but I have similar disk and this seems like a goodidea.

Presume have to unmount disk before putting to sleep ?
