this doesn`t only happen on notebooks but also with enterprise disks for 24/7hrs useage.
even worse - there are disks on the market which don`t let you tune the timeouts with standard methods. you need to get a proprietary DOS *sigh* tool to tune the unload interval - and WD support may give that to you - or not....

Yeah, I recall the thread. I don't really think we can do something about it tho. The only possible solution is to periodically issue commands to the drive to keep its head from unloading.
