Abstract
In a housing for removable computer mass-storage drives, commands coming in over a computer bus direct a removable mass-storage drive to spin down. Electronics in the housing detects that a removable mass-storage drive has begun to spin down by sensing the amount of current it is using. Following a delay period which is set by jumpers on the removable mass-storage drive itself, to allow for spin down to complete, the housing actuates a latch which releases the removable mass-storage drive and allows the user to remove it.
