[Forum Exclusive] USB Safely Remove

[Mohammad]

Overview:

It is now very common for all of us to use many USB devices during our daily use of our computers, for example, USB Flash drive, external HDD, and so on. But after you plug your device do you know how to remove it? Is it safe to just remove it from the computer or you need to stop it first?
It is advised to stop any plugged device before removal from the computer to avoid any data corruption
Microsoft Windows has a built-in tool to allow you to safely remove your device. However, this device has many limitations in its functionality. From this point, there was a need for a software that offers a lot of advantages more than the native Windows tool
Also, have you ever experience a message that the device can’t be removed right now as some application is running and you need to close it first? Did you lose any important information due to inappropriate removal of your device? This inconvenience will be completely solved using USB Safely Remove software. It will let you work with any external device in a safe, secure and convenient way

Now let’s discuss why it is advised to use USB Safely remove and not to simply depend on the windows native safe remove tool?

Of course, the program offers you many more features if compared to the native windows tool. The native tool offers you the ability to safe remove devices with automatic assignment to a drive letter and display menu after timeout of 10 seconds. In comparison, USB Safely Remove offer you many more features such as easier device stop with a click, display devices connected to your computer even after being stopped, stop all devices at once, reactivate stopped device, easily browsing a device in explorer or your favorite file manager, advanced options for drive letter management and many many more advantages. In addition, when you are using the native windows tool with many external devices connected, it is often quite difficult to recognize which device needs to be stopped. USB Safely Remove easily solves this problem using an original multifunctional stopping menu, which displays actual device names with icons.

Stopping menu:

This menu is one of the most useful features in the program. It appears when you hoover with the mouse over the taskbar icon or when a device is connected or disconnected. It gives you all information about connected devices with many details needed (name, icon, drive letter), registration status, hidden devices number, scan for hardware changes, browse connected devices, and stop all connected devices.  This allows you to do many tasks in an easy and convenient way and save your time.







How to stop a device:

Once any external device is connected you will have a notification that new device connected through the stopping menu. This menu will show you all connected devices and their letters, sized and icons. You can change the icon if you want. The process is very easy, simply open device properties and under general button click change. That’s all! Also you change the name or the assignment letter using the properties dialogue.
Now you can stop any connected device using the main program window or the stopping menu. The main program window lets you stop the device using the toolbar stop button or command menu stop option or right click device menu. The sopping menu lets you stop the device by simple click or using right click menu of this device or even stop all connected devices at once.
If you have the annoying message that windows can’t stop a device now because of some running processes, the program will easily solve this problem for you giving you a list of the running processes and the files in use by these processes. There are two options to stop again or force stop the device through closing all files used by the running processes. This will make the job easier and saves your time.
