It depends on how the drive was implemented.  Some drives
will bring down the whole bus if they are off, and some
won't.  It's not a case of Apple doing something wrong
or right.

The SCSI standard itself does not specify what devices are
supposed to do in this case, so I suppose drive vendors
just do whatever is easiest or cheapest.
