Power options for HDD ignored

$

My system: Precision M6800 with 256 GB SSD and additional 1TB Western Digital HDD

It seems that Windows ignores the power plan settings which I have set.

Although I have set the "Hard disk turn off after 'n' minutes" to "Never" when in plugged-in mode, the hard drive regardless goes to sleep after one minute. This is very annoying especially while writing some text because every now and then I have to wait some seconds because the hard drive has to spin up before it is ready again.

What do I need to install or configure to get rid of this behavior?

Thanks in advance for any help.
