i got to the point where i use osx all day (took me a long time to do so - 9 is just so more responsive) and i've noticed that unused disks turn themselves off after some 20 minutes even if i disable that option in system preferences. i would tend to believe that this is a feature of the disk's firmware or something like that, except that it never happened under os9...
i use a bw300 rev a (oc'd to 350), osx.1.5. two disks connected to an acard ata100+ (firmware v. 1.2), one to the mobo bus.
if anyone has experienced similar behaviour, or knows what is causing it, please let me know
