One is a Maxtor Onetouch III, the other is a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop. If it matters, they are both cryptsetup LUKS disks.
I just tested in gedit, and using the file selector did not cause the drives to spin up. Then I tried navigating nautilus again, and this time, just the Maxtor disk spun up. Then I let it spin down, and I tried navigating again, and this time, neither of them spun up.
This flaky behavior makes it a lot harder to figure out what the trigger is, I'm afraid...
