I would suggest looking at articles that focus on laptop power consumption, they typically have a section dedicated to disk accesses and how to spin the disk down as much as possible since this has traditionally been one of the better ways to minimize power consumption on a laptop.

This article has some good tips - especially relating to processes that might be accessing the disk frequently http://www.spencerstirling.com/computergeek/powersaving.html

Thanks for that info.

I'll take a look at that.
