Should I "Eject" a USB device, or should I "Safely Remove" it? What's the difference? From experimentation, "Safely Remove" makes it disappear from the list of drives in the Computer folder, but all the lights on the physical thumbdrive stay lit (which worries me, because on XP they went out completely). Also from experimentation, "Eject" makes all the lights go out on the device, but the drive letter continues to exist in the list of drives in the Computer folder (though it has forgotten the volume name). So which is the right one to use? Or should I use both, one after the other?
