Assuming you're not running some media player application at the
time, have you checked lsof?
I have the same problem with a spinning drive. It is a matter of
time after I run 'hdparm -Y /dev/sda' before something wakes it up
again. I'm guessing udev is probing it, but can't find any evidence
of it. :-/
Do you have smartd running?
Think, by default, it polls all the drives.
