I will have to try with a loop doing an ls of the disk.

No, nothing, i just grepped for the word "usb", and the only occurrences 
are when smartd mentions that disk (and posted in my previous post). And 
the other disk, which is mounted (and has similar symptoms), would throw 
a big error causing an umount.

I haven't touched that. The "sleep" has to be internal to the disk or 
cabinet firmware, not from the computer. It is more or less typical of 
external boxes.

The computer is an "MSi Cubi N Mini-PC", fanless, not a laptop or full 
desktop, a few years old and running since then.
