    After upgrading to Gusty, laptop SATA shuts off after 20 seconds idle time

    After upgrading to Gusty I noticed that when running on battery power my laptop's SATA hard drive will apparently shut down to save power after less than 20 seconds of inactivity.

    This is kind of annoying because I have to wait for it to spin back up again all the time, and I also hear that this can wear out a SATA drive pretty quick.

    Is there a way to increase the amount of time it takes for the drive to shut off while on battery power? (Note: this doesn't happen as long as the laptop is plugged in.)
