Power management is adjusted in both the BIOS and the operating system.
You're running a flavour of Windows? If so, disable hard disk power down in
both the BIOS and Windows power management.

If you have your hard disks set to power management, there will always be a
wake-up period and spin-up time will vary from drive to drive.
