Just to report back. My V+ box HD never powers off. I put a power meter on it and these are my findings.

1. Normal active operation 28 watts, HD active
2. "Resting" 28 watts, HD does not spin up when the box is woken, I just hear it seeking.
3. "Standby" mode 27 watts, HD does not spin down/up.

To be honest the HD powerdown seems to be a myth.
