Is it possible that the system try to spin down the USB HDD, while the unmounting of partitions or synchronization of cache still in progress?

Is it possible that the system did not wait for the progress of unmounting pof partition and cache synchronization to finish, before attempt to spin down the USB HDD?

I think the correct way to safely remove a USB storage device is to wait for the unmount and cache synchronization to finish, then wait for the other HDD related operations to finish before spin down the HDD.
