Using EJECT before power-off?

Ok, make sure you’re getting this:   POWER SWITCH does *NOT* dismount the drives.

The only safe way to dismount the drives is via the EJECT function.

If that’s what you mean by “Manual,” then I don’t know what the issue might be…  

Also, I guess I have to ask:  Before you unplug them from your PC, are you “Safely Removing” them before you unplug?
