Eject
"Eject" offers two different options. "Disconnect disk partition" allows you to remove a
single disk partition or a disk drive in a multi-drive enclosure. "Remove device" allows you
to disconnect external storage devices without the risk of losing any data when the
device is removed. First choose a device to eject, click "Eject" and then disconnect the
