Do you have laptop-mode enabled (in /etc/default/acpi-support)? In Gutsy we
have in /usr/sbin/laptop_mode:
LM_BATT_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT=4 # 20 seconds
but I think this is reset by /etc/default/acpi-support:
# Spindown time on battery
SPINDOWN_TIME=12

Whoa, please don't go all-conservative and throw away the baby with the
bathwater! I think the LM_BATT timeout should be set to a value that
achieves the best balance between the following goals:
#1: Power savings
#2: Not be irritating to users
#3: Not kill hard drives
Starting with #1: 15

Reopening dapper task; this should definitively be fixed in dapper as
well.
