If the drive stops spinning it can lock up instantly.
If this is making sure drive keeps on spinning at a lower speed it can stay running a little longer but not much. When a drive is done if you don't want to have to pay a recover bill to repair drive you get rid of drive. Doing this is only asking for pain.
