My hard drive rarely spins down with the setting at 5 minutes. I started
DISKMON, and I see frequent WRITES (never reads). The longest period between
writes so far is 4 min 20 sec.

How can I tell what application is doing this?
 
Hi m r,

Normally it's manufacturer's settings that causes the spin down. Check that
if you have such software (e.g. ThinkVantage for ThinkPad computers).
