It saves time...
Displaying what prevents a device from being stopped
Safe removal via hotkeys

Lets you recognize a device in a snap..
The handy menu with device icons
Real device names and ability to rename them
Feature to hide unnecessary to stop devices
Extends your hot-plug opportunities...
Program autorun on device connection\disconnection
Command line for safe removal

Does unique things!
Hiding of "empty" card reader drives
Card reader memory cards ejection one-by-one
Returning just stopped device back!

Features of the software, thought the "Hiding of "empty" card reader drives" is worthy of that in itself.

Thank you.

So what exactly is the point of this?

As long as you're not transferring data or running any programs/files from your USB, why not just yank it out?

I also never understood the point of people right clicking the taskbar and selecting "safely remove hardware".
If you didn't have busy LED lights on your USB stick or HDD enclosure, then that's understandable.

This should answer your question.

Interesting.
I've been yanking them out for the past 8 years and never experienced any of that.

Even though USB devices are Plug & Play?that is, they're ready to go upon being plugged in?you shouldn't just unplug them. A USB port has current running through it, so the power jolt caused by unplugging a "hot" connection can corrupt data on a storage device, camera, or mp3 player

That doesn't make any sense...

you're lucky - I lost a bio project from yanking a stick out that was idle.

Thanks - grabbed a key in case I need it later on; seems useful enough.

I've been yanking them out for years too and never had a problem unless it was a mac.

I picked up a license. Not sure if I'll ever use the program, but hey, I'm a glutton for free things .. and it looks like it could be handy.

 

[Patrickz0rs]

They are all gone.

 

[harobikes333]

bump for someone to update thread

I think it's computer related. I've never had it on anything personal. But at my old local community college the systems (35 Dell Dimension 2400's) in the math room (Stats, Pre Cal, College Algebra) would eat flash drives like candy. I just started emailing projects because at least once a week those systems would corrupt my flash drive and everything on it. When our printer broke down at home I packed my English paper on a flash drive to print at the college before class. When I plugged it in the drive was completely corrupted after accessing my drive. Luckily the teacher was there to see it and excused me to get it on my lunch break. But corruption is a real thing.
