Safely Disconnecting the Drive

Windows and Macintosh operating systems have a means for safely disconnecting
and removing the drive without turning off the system:
▪ Windows has a Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the system tray
which, when used, ensures that all data is flushed from system cache before
device removal.
▪ Mac users can simply drag the drive icon to the trash before disconnecting it.
