Powering off 3.5 I drive with r64 - Jxck - 07-10-2018

Hi so currently I have my Rock64 running as a NAS with a single 3.5 inch drive that’s in a external enclosure powered  by its own supply.  I was wondering if any of you guys have an idea for how I could make the hard drive power off with the R64 encase of my UPS running low in power loss. Or if I ever shut off the R64 via the button or software I’d want it to shut off the drive. I’m thinking of some how using an ATX supply.
