Is there a command in terminal to sleep individual drives? I don't want to use the "sleep drives" in system preference. I thought if unmounting the drive, they would sleep but just checked my drives I have unmounted and there still spinning.

So far my search for this problem is zero results. The closest command is NOFLUSHD, but only for linux. Wish there was this command for OSX.

Thanks for the info. Will have to research the developer package to see whats it about. Be nice to have individual energy settings for the hard disks. Anyone know if this option is in OSX server?

If it's that big a deal for you, perhaps you could use external Firewire drives and turn them off when you don't need them?

Kind of defeats having 4 internal drives in the mac pro but thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully snowleopard will give us better control of the hard drives.
