I was wondering if we could emulate the condition in Windows.So I left 
the disk in (128) , and wrote a script to run smartctl every 7 secs ( 
the disk head parks after 8).And this actually worked.I was having 
temperatures of about ~43-45 Celsius , without the disk head ever 
getting parked.I think the Power Management value modifies the Voltage 
parameters in the hard disk.

Here's the script ...

#!/bin/bash
while : ;
do
smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Load
sleep 7
done

P.S-You are supposed to run it with sudo
