I discovered, that the korganizer alarm daemon [1] causes a disk spin-up in
laptop-mode about every 60 seconds. this is not only annoying but also
lifetime limiting to the disk. the default value for idle timeout is 5
seconds (see package laptop-mode-utils). so there will be a spin down/up
cycle every minute. if this can't be avoided, it should be documented to make
users aware of.
Interesting. Does the disk activity still happen when you have syslogd
turned off? It might be that the daemon logs something every minute.
Otherwise, could you try following the instructions described in the
laptop mode FAQ:

(Look at question "My disk spins up all the time and I have no clue what
causes this. Can I debug this?".)
I'd be interested to see what that tells you.
