Thunar killing my external harddisk

For some reason, thunar-media-tag-plugin starts indexing my external harddisk.
This not only creates noise for hours, while I want it to sit idle, it also
creates thousands of disk head motions, which is NOT WANTED AT ALL.

This is a disk I use for archiving purposes, and I want to PROTECT it from
unneccesary accesses. Still, media tags seems to wait for 10 minutes or so,
and then starts accessing ALL files on the disk?

Please provide a setup or GUI option to DISABLE scanning my disks
without explicit request to do so.
