I too have only those disks, but they don't park. You can adjust that
with 'hdparm', namely the Parameter -S. Also, look at your
power-management settings in yast. Or adjust the pm-profile setting

SATA_ALPM="max_performance"

in the profile. I just copied the 'balanced' to a new name, changed
that setting and then activated that profile (/etc/pm-profiler.conf
resp. /etc/sysconfig/pm-profiler).

i can't easily get another 2TB drive now and will have to make do
with two of them for the time being.

You should. Having identical drives of the same age in a RAID ...
