(Hmm, the drives have
can_stop=1
start_stop_type=shutdown
so everything should be good. My guess is that it's the NTFS partition
that is the culprit. Specifically, unmounting it via udisks somehow
fails.)
If you manually unmount the partitions, does powering down the drive
work? Specifically, try this
1. Unmount all partitions using Disks
- if that fails, try 'umount /dev/sdXN' from a terminal. Does that work?
2. Press the "Power off" button in Disks when everything has been unmounted.
Does that work?
Also, please include all messages from udisks from syslog (e.g.
/var/log/messages or similar) when pressing the "Power off" button in
Disks. It should contain some useful info.

Bug description:
In 12.04 I was able to safely remove USB-stick (make its LED off) and USB-HDD
(do a spin down).
In 13.04 this option is missed.
In 13.10 it is appeared again, but not working as expected:
+ Gnome Disks normally powers off the USB flash (tested on 4 different
flashes and 2 USB cardreaders).
- Gnome Disks does not spin down USB HDD (but udisks --detach does)
