It's worth noting that even without laptop_mode some drives are just really bad at this. I had a Samsung 80GB drive that under any OS would park & spin down fairly aggressivly, but as soon as *ANY* power saving was enabled on the drive it would always spin down in 5 seconds (Unsurprisingly it died in less then 8 months, quick even for my average of ~ 1 year).
The only real potential solution is to work out a per model scale factor, but just upping the default might mask it enough to be effective.
