Just another fail safe to turn off a hdd for when you want to format another hdd so you don't accidentally format the wrong drive?

I had this problem with a Raspberry Pi connected to several HDDs. It would crash the whole system if they all spun up, so I'd turn them off instead of unplugging them.
They have a powered version if that's a concern.

In that case it makes even more sense, since the attached peripherals won't turn off when the host is powered down.

For those asking why: powering off USB devices is great for putting your PC in sleep mode and ensuring USB peripherals don't light up at night and accidentally hitting the keyboard cannot wake the PC. My microphone has a bright red LED and my mouse and keyboard light up when in use.
That's interesting. I thought it would power down since there's no data being transmitted when the host is shut off. I guess not.
