FDAPM does the spindown only for IDE disks, not for SATA.
And I was talking about standby, not shutdown. I use FDAPM as a shutdown util, but for standby, I need HDAT2 in order to spindown both of my disks manually and then PCISLEEP to activate D1/D2 sleep for components capable of it from my RAM-disk. My problem is that HDAT2 cannot be batched to do this so I have to go through the process manually, which is annoying.

DOS isn't about why. It's about why not.
