As the title says, I want the HDD to turn itself off when I turn off the Wii, as to stop it from wearing down so much. I understand that this can be achieved by turning off RiiConnect24's Standby feature (this is because the USB ports turn off when the power light goes red, thus turning off the hard drive; this doesn't happen when the light is yellow). However, I find this solution to be unsatisfactory. Is there another way I can have the HDD stop spinning when the Wii enters Standby Mode, or is this the best I've got?

There seems to be no such setting, as far as I could tell. I set the "ignore standby" option to ON, but it didn't seem to do anything at all.
