To spin down/power off a HDD, there's also (or only) udisks --detach /dev/sdx, and I'd like to make it a clickable item in Nautilus as well.

Provided I can do that (which is a probleme on its own), there's no way such a command would differentiate one drive from another.

As long as it's unmounted, the drive is safe to unplug, but it really feels bad to unplug it while it's spinning. Waiting isn't always an option.

Got any tip?
