I installed a 2nd HDD in my 2012 macbook pro 13" about a year ago, and i used this script that i found online to put my drive to sleep and wake it up:

tell application "Finder"   
if not (exists the disk "HDD") then   
do shell script "diskutil mountDisk 'disk1'"      
else   
do shell script "diskutil eject 'disk1'"      
end if   
end tell

That worked out just fine until I upgraded to El Capitan. Now I can still put my disk to sleep, but after 10-20 seconds it spins back up. I have tried all tips from this thread, by setting idle time to one minute, preventing spotlight from indexing and searching the disk and now I am completely out of ideas. Do anyone have any ideas?

This seems to work for me using script editor:

tell application "Finder" if (exists disk "Momentus_XT_750GB") then try tell application "ejectHDD" to activate end try else try do shell script "diskutil mountDisk 'disk0'" end try end if end tell

I used automator to make the ejectHDD app following this link
