Although you can simply unplug a USB flash drive from your computer when you’re done transferring files, it’s better off to eject it safely just to prevent data from becoming corrupt. Luckily, there are various applications like Tiny Disk Remover which aim to help you safely remove all storage devices from your PC.
Can be used on the go
On the bright side of things, Tiny Disk Remover doesn’t take you through a setup process, so you can see what it’s all about from the moment download is done. However, you do need to make sure that your computer is fitted with .NET Framework for the program to function, but there’s a high chance it’s already there, because it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations.The visual design isn’t meant to cause any sort of accommodation problems, and it doesn’t. Features are stored in a clean environment, which only enlists drives currently connected to your computer. In case some fail to appear, there’s a button which refreshes the reading session in an attempt to properly display them all.
Leaves much to be desired
Unfortunately, the application doesn’t make it possible to safely eject just one drive at a time, which has a considerable impact on overall practicality. There’s only one function which ejects all drives at a time, with no associated context menu to easily select the drives you wish to remove next.It would have been useful for the application to show up every time a new drive gets connected, but you need to manually run it every time. In this regard, you can assign a hotkey command to its shortcut to run it regardless of your Explorer location.
A few last words
Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Tiny Disk Remover isn’t really prepared to handle tasks as intended. It attempts to enhance an existing Windows feature, but without the proper flexibility to select target drives to eject, you’re easily tempted to look for alternatives.
