I have a 2.5 hdd plugged in at the usbport of my rpi, when I shutdown libreelec the hdd immediatly lose power and the hdd really does not sound healthy everytime . Can that cause dmg to it.
I have all the media files on the hdd and it gets its power from the usbport. Is libreelec putting it into standby before shutting down? Would be a desirable feature.

Always use a powered Hub for HDD especially if you have other USB devices attached..
LE will unmount the HDD when shutdown normally. Sounds like you are just pulling the power plug - which you should not do.
