If it's unmounted, how can I access it ?
Manually remount it or, if using /etc/fstab add the x-systemd.automount option.
If I understood your initial requirement about the only way I can think of to prevent the drive spinning up to sync at shutdown to sync is to have it unmounted.
Some filesystems support the sync mount option which prevents use of the disc cache. Most don't and will silently ignore this option.
