HDD Keeps spinning after unmount via Thunar

Version information

thunar 4.20.4 (Xfce 4.20)

Arch Kernel: 6.16.4-arch1-1 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.18 driver: X: loaded: nvidia

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable Linux
  2. Connect disks USB3.0 or another usb version
  3. Restart your PC
  4. Log in to thunar,
  5. in the "sidebar", "tabs",
  6. right-click on the name disk - unmount
  7. listen to the disc

Current behavior

  1. "devices" disks stop having the "safely eject disk" button.
  2. the disk continues to spin, even after unmounting. (when you turn off the USB or turn off the PC) the disk continues to rotate slower and slower, you can almost hear how it resonates there

Expected outcome

Force the addition of "safe disk extraction"

Additional information

watch any HDD wizard video on how quickly and easily disk heads break. By making and sawing real holes in the hardware in an attempt to read the data. You have to be very careful when turning off disks.
