HDD Not Spinning Down?


i installed wd scorpio blue 640gb 5400 rpm drive in macbook pro 2009 (13"). reason, drive platters not spinning down , keep going. made sure "put hard disks sleep" in energy saver checked, doesn't work. know contribute shorter hdd life span, how can fix this? thanks.
 

not shorter. apparently, have process that's accessing drive. launch activity monitor , change "my processes" @ top "all processes", click on cpu column heading once or twice, arrow points downward (highest values on top). see may consuming system resources.
