..
No, you're confusing "IDLE" with "STANDBY". IDLE just puts the drive
electronics into a lower-power state than "ACTIVE", but normally leaves
the platters spinning.
The "UNLOAD" enhancement causes it to also "unload" or "park" (drive's option)
the heads as part of this action.
"STANDBY" is the command set which parks heads and spins down the platters.
Cheers
