Turn off internal hard disk on WL700ge?

[kfurge]

There is (unused)configuration page for disk power management in WL700gE fw-1.0.4.2
"http://192.168.1.1/disk_management/disk_power_management.asp"
but naturally it doesn't work Maybe its possible to fix it somehow ?

I don't think so.

I tested the three of the steps listed below individually, and in combination, to see what was keeping the HDD spinning. It was necessary to execute all three of them to get the drive to spin down.

The main culprit was watchdog. It regularly pings the internal web server, the web server, in turn, makes a temporary file on the HDD which which keeps the drive spinning.
