@ssergeje: Thanks for the reply. When I safely remove the drive using
the device notifier plasmoid or the dolphin function, i hear the drive
"doint something", but it doesn't spin down. But it doesn't make that
"spindown-and-up-again" noise either liken when I use the script.

When I unplug the disk, it makes that "power-retract" noise, emergency-
parking the heads. So it evidently doesn't get spun down using UI tools.

WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work 
any more
