@Blue Aren't there two slightly different but related problems?
The first one is about a nearly inaudible clicking which happens when the heads are unloaded and which is the reason I filed this report (since it'd be killing my drive, slowly but inevitably). It doesn't cause any noticeable delays when the heads are loaded again. The second one is true spindown which causes annoying delays when the drive is spun up again. (And which also causes wear and tear on the mechanical parts of the drive.) Wouldn't that be bug 17216?
