Excessive spindowns here aswell with default value of 127 (FUJITSU MHV2100BH PL). I suggest the following fix which worked for me:

- Change line 82 in /lib/hdparm/hdparm-functions to "hdparm_set_option -B128"

- Adjust the global spindown time in /etc/hdparm.conf to your needs. (E.g. "spindown_time = 120" will make the drive spin down after 10 minutes)
