The USB "sticks" do not need "Safely Remove" Just plug them in, use them,
and when you are done, unplug them. The WD drive can be a bit more of a
challenge. But unless you have adjusted it's properties to enable delayed
write, there is no need for safely remove there either. The exception is if
you installed any software on it rather than just putting data on it. I have
a 250, and if it's idle, I can shut it off or remove it at will without
doing anything special first. Sometimes Vista warns me that I might lose
data that way, and sometimes it does not. These days I never do remove it.
There is little real use for most folks of "Safely Remove."
