Hard-disk settings tab
HD Spindown Time Allows you to set the amount of 
idle time in minutes XBMC will wait before it spins 
down the hard-disk. This will reduce the noise of your 
XBOX considerably and decreases heat buildup. 
Please note that it takes 5 to 10 seconds before the 
harddisk is fully operational after a spindown. This 
causes XBMC to halt and wait for the hard-disk to pick 
back up. It is not advisable to have a short spindown if 
you play a lot of music files as your hard-disk can't be 
in sleep mode (spindown) when it reads an ID3 tag, 
therefore it will have to restart with every new song. 
You can set this option in one minute intervals from 
disabled to one hour. Suggested time: 10 minutes.
Immediate HD Spindown Will enable the hard-disk 
to spin down (almost) immediately when playing files 
from a network. NOTE: Immediate HD Spindown 
will not work when playing files from the harddisk or 
remote video's with vobsub subtitles.
