After the driver has been installed, you can disconnect and reconnect the device without performing any additional steps.

Check the documentation provided by the device’s manufacturer before connecting the device. Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished transferring data to that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the Windows notification area to remove the device before disconnecting.
