I have worked around this in a Linux server by setting up a crib job to touch a file on the drive.. this ping idea here is a good idea too https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/439237/how-to-keep-external-hdds-spinning-prevent-spinning-down-on-macos

Hey mate just wanted to say thanks, I tried the stack exchange suggestion and it worked, but holy shit, I had to reduce the time interval to 20 seconds before it actually helped. Crazy aggressively the drives were being turned off.
