A USB device is active 100.0% of the time:
USB device  1-5 : UB6225 (ENE)

Suggestion: Enable USB autosuspend by pressing the U key or adding 
usbcore.autosuspend=1 to the kernel command line in the grub config

Suggestion: increase the VM dirty writeback time from 4.99 to 15 seconds with:
  echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 
This wakes the disk up less frequently for background VM activity

Suggestion: Disable 'hal' from polling your cdrom with:  
hal-disable-polling --device /dev/cdrom 'hal' is the component that auto-opens a
window if you plug in a CD but disables SATA power saving from kicking in.
