Does/Should removable, internal hard drive spin down when ejected?
Several hard drives in internal bays in the case. TWO that go in external bays. One came with the computer's case, and it's a simple push on/pull off. The other is a caddyless carrier in the front panel that pulls the drive out when it's released. Both WORK fine, disks get found when one is plugged in and all that.
BUT, after doing the backup or whatever, I "eject" whichever drive I was using, then remove it from the drive bay. It FEELS like the drives continue to spin even after ejecting them, which means they're getting the physical shock of me pulling them loose from the plug and pulling them out of the bay.
Is this a legitimate concern? And if so, is there something I should be doing when I eject one of these drives so it WILL spin down?
