Thank for your Notes! I have an external USB-C connected Storage and I need in addition doing send a sleep command to the disk before I delete the disk in the system. Without this the disk is not spinning down.
hdparm -Y /dev/sdx # the disk is spinning down echo 1 |sudo tee /sys/block/sdx/device/delete # the disk will not waked up through the system and the disk could safely removed
