All spinning hard drives since somewhere in the early 2000s (2005?) have been regulated by EU and US regulation to have to sleep (it is firmware coded and non-defeatable). All spinning hard drive manufacturers have to adhere to this.

Accessing the drive in regular intervals keeps those drives running/awake (there are utilities to do this.)
