eSATA HDD Spin Down?

Hi there, i have set up my internal drives to spin down after 15 minutes of inactivity.
However my two newly added LaCie drives won't.

Code:

# hdparm -S180 /dev/sdg
/dev/sdg:
 setting standby to 180 (15 minutes)
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setidle1) failed: Invalid argument

It is conected with a HighPoint eSATA card.

Any ideas on how to get it to spin down. I'm not comfortable with the drives running 24/7.
I'm running 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
