Stop spinning down internal disk
My laptop has a WDC WD10JPCX-24UE4T0. It spins down after 5 seconds of idle. That is pretty annoying.
How can I change the spindown time?
I have tried:
/usr/bin/gnome-disks
hdparm -S 200 /dev/sda
hd-idle -i 100 -a sda
The disk just laughs at these and spins down after 5 seconds still.

Not only annoying! It will make the drive dead in a matter of months probably.
