Steves' answer looks pretty good too,<br />

download the file referenced in the top of the text and follow the steps :)<br />

Safelyremove.com might still be good if you have trouble with that.

if those don't help, try task scheduler to run a command to disconnect the USB, which can be done through windows services -- but the utilities are probably easier than windows services.

I have a portable USB drive that I am using for backups. I would like to schedule a auto disconnect of the drive so that when a user pulls the drive to take home the unit disconnects properly. The backup software does not seem to allow this.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to do this via command line?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

How to disconnect a hard via commandline?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.

Storage Hardware

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
