Hmm... I guess I'm going to have to test it in a minimal environment
where I'm reasonably sure there can't be some clever daemon
interfering while trying to do something useful.
Did you find the solution? And if yes, what was it?
I think the problem was hardware. At least I'm now using

Any idea what it might be and how to find out and fix it?
IIRC, this setting can be defined using hdparm (-M flag and also

This sounds like BIOS or drive firmware.
Kind regards,

The hard disk can have set (by default) embbeded routines that make the
disk to be awaked at a regular interval and external disks (those that
come with USB enclosures or NAS/SAN appliances) tend to do it to speed up
things (e.g., to run scheduled backup tasks).
For a NAS, I could agree. But

This is a serious problem since it's a 3.5 drive, it's almost always
idle (I only use it once a day for backups) and it's not in a place
where I can easily plug it in
