Force spindown with ICH10R?

I've got four 2TB drives in a RAID-0 on an Ivy Bridge system with an ICH10R controller. There's no trouble with drive detection on boot or in the Matrix Storage Manager.

For whatever reason, the drives refuse to spin down. Windows 7 is set to turn them off after 30 minutes. They're holding nothing but giant media files that are never accessed. A fifth standalone drive in the system on the same controller has no trouble spinning down.

What would keep an array like this running?
 
Probably because they are RAID :) As to the mechanics of why, I cannot answer but that is probably why.
