Yesterday I replaced the superdrive of my MacBook Pro with an OptiBay to run a dual hard drive setup. I have a Crucial M4 128GB SSD in the OptiBay and a 1TB Hitachi 5400RPM HDD in the hard drive bay. The SSD obviously serves as my primary drive while the HDD holds my iTunes library and my movies.
My questions is on disk sleep settings. Before I added the HDD I had disk sleep turned off because I read sleeping an SSD might cause problems. Now I would like to sleep the HDD when not in use to improve battery life and portability. What would be the best disk sleep setting for this particular situation?

Thanks in advance.
