It used to be that when I ejected USB hard drives in the Finder that the Mac spins down the drive motor (just like Windows does). But I recently noticed that this is not the case anymore, both a WD My Book and a cheap USB 2.5" SATA enclosure spin down and spin right back up when ejected.
Anyone know how to fix this? I don't like unplugging them when they're still spinning, that just triggers an emergency park in the hard drive.
