Tip: The Quick Way to Safely Remove USB Pendrives

Before you unplug a USB device such as a pendrive or external hard disk, you really should use the Windows “Safely Remove Hardware” feature to ensure that Windows has written everything to the device but the Windows “Safely Remove Hardware” feature is confusing to use (em bom portugues: É UM PÉ NO SACO!!!), particularly if you have several USB devices. Worse still, the icon often goes missing from the system tray.

“USB Disk Ejector” is a small utility that does the same thing as the Windows “Safely Remove Device” applet, except that it does it quicker and better.

It’s a small free program that doesn’t require installation. Just double click the .exe file and the program flashes up a simple screen that allows you to select the device to eject. One click and you are done.
