Resolved Secondary hard drive spins up on wake

[riptideMBP]

Hi all,
Yesterday I removed the DVD drive from my 2010 MacBook Pro, and replaced it with a 40GB intel 320 SSD using a generic "optibay" enclosure. I am using this drive as my startup volume while keeping the stock HD in the hard drive bay for media, easy backups, and my windows 7 vm. To conserve battery and reduce noise I wanted have the hard drive spin down when it wasn't in use, so I set the hard dive sleep timer to 1 minute and created apps to mount and eject the hard drive. Between the sleep timer and eject command, the hard drive stays "off" during normal use however when i put the laptop to sleep and then open the screen, the hard drive spins indefinitely until i execute the eject command. Is there some way to prevent the unmounted hard drive from spinning up when waking from sleep?

It turns out that I was able to achieve the desired result by forgoing the unmounting procedure and simply allowing the 1 minute sleep timer to do its job.

Same Issue

Were you ever able to fix this issue without just using the timer? Mine's doing the exact same thing. I eject the secondary and then it starts spinning on wake. My only option that I'm aware of is to just restart.
