Re: HDD spins down randomly in the middle of processes

Could still be a bus issue, USB interfaces to the PCI bus. Your first post said you had first observed the problem in Windows with your optical drive - are you still having that issue also? The board/spindle motor would be a bad device pulling down current on the power supply under load.
