The problem is that, if there are extra disks which are sleeping
due to the "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" setting,
Finder (when creating context menus) and Open/Save panels (when
activated) very often wakes them -- without a real need, in other
words, without the user navigating to them explicitly.
That is pretty bad, for
- the disks are noisy (which is also the primary cause I switch
"Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" on);
- wainting while they are waking causes a very inconvenient delay
with the infamous rainbow disc spinning and spinning.
This also happens for mounted CDs and DVDs that have spun down. I
find it very disappointing that for such read-only media not even the
listings of visited directories are cached, which would make it
possible to glance at the CD's contents without spinning it up. As
far a I can tell this behaviour has essentially been the same since
OS 8-9, and no-one at Apple has considered changing it. (well that's
not true, they they may have _considered_ it).
