Force hard disk spin down
My HD is loud and I want the option to spin it down when I'm doing nothing but typing.
is there a spin down hard disk command for applescript?
I remember being able to do this in 9. The option in energy saver to spin down whenever possible takes a long time to actually do it.
Thanks.

Perhaps, an effective different approach would be for you to consider replacing your HD altogether with a quieter one. Look for something moderate to high price, but not extravagant (i.e., not bargain basement and not 15,000 rpms, for instance) and look for features such as "fluid bearings", "low noise", and such. They can make HD's as quiet as to be barely audible over your case fan these days, but you would never expect that given the HD's that are typically chucked in your computer stock.
