It spins down my USB-HDD with safely remove. It's great.
Please note:
* with modern version of udisks2 "Safely remove drive" in Nautilus and
"Safely remove parent drive" in Unity options are available only for USB-HDDs,
* for USB-flashes there is only Eject option and it is normal.

Bug description:
In Ubuntu 12.04, I could right-click on my usb-external-harddrive's
Unity-Task-Bar icon (launcher icon) and select "Safely Remove". Upon
doing this, the icon would disappear and I would proceed in unplugging
my external hard drive.
However, since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, this option is no longer
available in the context menus (Quicklists) for external drives.
Instead, all I see is "Unmount", and after clicking "Unmount" the icon
remains on the task-bar (launcher) and no indication is given that
would imply that the unmount occurred successfully.
The intent of this report is to bring back the "Safely Remove" option
which (by making the icon disappear after selected) indicates that you
may now safely removal your USB external hard drive (by unplugging its
usb connector).
