hmmm...
When my IDE drives spin down, it could take a good while to come
up and I didn't see a problem...
I suppose you could write a cheesy script which:
while true
do
touch a file on the file system
sleep a while
done
to prevent it from spinning down.
(this may be a vague approximation of what you need to do to
get through the buffer cache to the physical media).
