Hi Ezzie and Others, The usual reason that a drive fails to eject is that it is still in use. This could be either because a copy or write operation is still going on and transferring data, or because you have navigated into the file structure of the drive in Finder to query contents. I do find that Command-E works to eject drives provided they are not in use, but there's nothing wrong with following either Ricardo's method with the context menu or Gigi's checks that the device is not active. I've retitled the subject line to better reflect the content of the discussion.
