I'm aware there's a view that this is not happening and it could be a plugin. Unfortunately I can't easily boot into safe mode, so I've taken a different approach.
Firstly I've resolved all the GSO errors by changing a linux VM to Machine 5.0. This enables us to actually read the logs without hunting through rubbish. 
Second I spin down all the drives. I visually note that they have spun down and remain spun down. I refresh the main page to ensure that they haven't spun up in the background.
I note some activity comes in and spins up a single drive, OK all good so far. I again refresh the main page to ensure drives have not spun up in the background.
I view the logs, clearly showing when the drives spun down. Still good.
Within 5 minutes, all drives have spun up again. I check the system log. There is no record of anything spinning up the drive. Perhaps it's in another log. I have downloaded the logs within 1 minute of the drives spinning up, thus there is not much to have to delve through to make it easier.
Maybe this will help the few of us whom still remain with this problem and whether it's specific to our setups or not.
