Turn off hard drive programmatically

When I call IVdsDiskOnline::Offline, disk becomes offline and its volumes disappear from the system.

Does the physical HDD continue spinning, wasting energy and wearing the hardware?

If yes, how do I stop it?

If it matters, I’m using an average desktop PC with Intel® 9 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller, and SATA HDD.

Thanks in advance.
