disconnecting live disks

[steve rader]

Some eec person once told me that disconnecting live molex
(power) scsi connectors can kill a disk drive.  And I'm also
not confortable futzing with scsi connectors on live busses.

I assume the perferred method is to put the disk-to-kill
on a external power supply with a power switch.  

Is there a safe way without an external power supply?
