It's worth noting that even without laptop_mode some drives are just
really bad at this. I had a Samsung 80GB drive that under any OS would
park & spin down fairly aggressivly, but as soon as *ANY* power saving
was enabled on the drive it would always spin down in 5 seconds
(Unsurprisingly it died in less then 8 months, quick even for my average
of ~ 1 year).

The only real potential solution is to work out a per model scale
factor, but just upping the default might mask it enough to be
effective.
