Its perfectly fine to have a drive spin down as long as the USB connection stays intact. Some drives let you make that distiction and some do not. If yours does not then you probably want to turn off sleep altogether.
There are actually two different types of scans that happen, one is the quick scan that happens at all disk connections, and the other is the full in depth scan. The quick scan is just to find out if you have added any new files to your disk, it is just looking at file names and dates, its not actually reading the files. This should be pretty fast, usually only a couple minutes at most. If it doesn't find any new files then it won't do the in depth scan. Even if it finds a few new files it will only "deep scan" those new files. If the scan is always taking a long time, that usually means that a full scan has never finished, this will cause a deep scan of every file every time a disk is connected. If this is happening then its a good idea to get this corrected as well.
