What's so WTF about it? I'm repurposing old hardware and testing out the concept. I'm not shelling out a pile of cash on something that might not work for me.

Therefore the laptop is the disk controller and if you gracefully shut down the OS it will take care of all the housekeeping tasks to prepare a disk for safe shutdown (flush cache to disk, park heads on spinning rust, etc) and then it will be safe to turn off the PSU.
