Is there any way to disable automatic head parking of a HDD?

My hard drive semms to park its head after X minutes, and when I access it again it loads the head in a fraction of a second (causing a small beep),and causing disturbances to media streamed from it. Since I'm in a critical environment where I record sound, I wonder if I can totally disable this head parking function? The HDD in question is a Toshiba DT01ACA300 64MB 3TB.

I have tried: Disable APM and AMM, with no change. Normally run Windows 8, but the same problem seems to show under Linux on the same machine.

I could probably use something like KeepAliveHD ... but would prefer another solution. Also, having tried KeepAliveHD, it actually seems like it doesn't help. I can say why, maybe in some way the cash of the drive makes the drive not write the file directly, so that the drive can stay in standby mode?

This is for Windows 7, but should more or less apply completely to Windows 8.

Start menu > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Hard Disk (second from the top) > Turn Off Disk After > type as many 9's as will fit, or whatever you want.

Windows power settings doesn't affect the built in head parking function of the harddrive. However, it does work to use hdparm's -S and -B options to disable it. This solution works, but hdparm has to be run again after each power cycle.

A sidenote: Using KeepAliveHD, doesn't work. That program is supposed to keep the drive awake by writing a small text file to it every minute. Maybe it doesn't work because the file is too small and stored in the cash of the drive?
