Unless you tell your computer otherwise, your HDD spin no matter what.
ALot of people don't like the feature of turning of the HDD's. Not only is this extra wear and tear on the HDD's have to spin them back up to speed, but also i've seen cases where HDD' that spin down and you try to wake the computer back up, sometimes the computer freaks to the point it restarts.
I"ve seen it at work, it usually happens with hibernation mode, where the data is taken out of the RAM, shut down and then the HDD Is shut down as well. If for whatever reason the data is not loaded correctly, the system crashes and it usually results in lost data and corrupted file system files.
In otherwords, if your gonna be gone for awhile, turn the machine off completely. Otherwise, let your HDD"s spin, thats what they were meant to do.
