Safely Remove Hardware...uh...not any more..

Posted on 20:30 by Unknown
We might have tired of safely removing our hardware every time we eject our external drive..

There is a setting for the USB drives which tells the OS how to optimize their usage. Either it is optimized for Quick Removal or for Performance. To check it, do the following:

• Right click on the USB drive icon in My Computer.
• Select the Hardware tab.
• Select your USB drive and click on Properties.
• Now click on Policies tab.

Optimize for Quick removal
This setting disables write caching on the disk so that you can disconnect this drive without using the Safely Remove Hardware icon.

Optimize for Performance
This setting enables the write caching on the disk so as to improve disk performance. To disconnect this drive, you should use the Safely Remove Hardware icon so as not to hurt your USB drive.

Select the optimize for quick removal radio button. Now you can directly remove your hardware.
