Mac OS X Disk Utility doent get my external drives ready for removal.
In windows, clicking safely remove hardware from the taskbar stops the spinning of my external drive, but in my Mac OS X Yosemite, I can feel that the external disk is still spinning even after selecting Unmount and Eject.
How to handle removing external drives on Mac OS X?
Once you've ejected it, it's ready for removal. Not all drives spin down immediately when they're ejected. You don't need to use Disk Utility for this, you can just use the Finder Eject command. – Barmar – 2014-11-06T19:50:27.120
