I think the main reason they hid this setting is that because there might be people out there (kids) who do not know what the setting itself means and they then might get rants about it.

Parental Control. It's there to be used.

I'm surprised that Nintendo actually lets users format the Wii U without it being hidden because we know how much Nintendo cares about them kids.

I think the more we try to ask the question why, the less we actually find out. I'm gonna assume its in the manual (Because we all read console manuals) but i'm just much more interested in what else there may be. If anyone happens to find anything, I'll be more than happy to make another video!

Will this method disable HDD sleep in vWii mode?
Unlikely; what Nintendo software for the Wii uses an HDD? (Dragon Quest uses a flash drive) (and I think some CIOS already do random disk access every 10 minutes - though of course reconfiguring the HDD on a PC is better, if supported by your disk)

How do I do that?
Some (like the infamous WD greens) have dedicated software, with most others you can use hdparm in Linux (with a supported interface - many older IDE/SATA to USB kits don't pass the appropriate command through; and whether the setting sticks after unplugging it is up to the disk's manufacturer)
