I am using a 3.5" SATA HDD from the eSATA port of my laptop. The HDD is powered with another ATX power supply. Each time I unplug the eSATA, I cannot make the HDD spindown before I power off the ATX.
So, any tool to do this?

Best Answer
Have you tried savely removing it (perhaps only for USB) or unmounting the drive?
Else have a look at HotSwap!
You can treat the eSata like a HDD you're trying to hot swap, thus turning it off. But instead of swapping it, you just leave it off.
