with gvfs version 1.6.1-0ubuntu1build1 there is no change. I doubt that it is possible to tell if HDD is SATA or eSATA, because both internal HDDs and the one in the external dock are connected via SATA ports on motherboard. So the only solution is to add spindown option for sata disks that have no volumes listed in fstab.
