USB Safely Remove: A Better Way to Manage Hot-Plug Devices

USB Safely Remove is a versatile tool that addresses the limitations of the default Windows safe removal feature. It simplifies device management by displaying actual device names with icons, making it easy to identify and stop the right device.

The program allows users to rename devices, change their icons, hide them from the menu, scan for hardware changes, and stop all devices at once.

Unlike Windows, it identifies programs or files preventing device removal and provides options to close them. For those who prefer keyboard shortcuts, it offers a single hotkey to access the device menu, navigate, and manage devices. It also supports custom hotkeys for specific devices.

The program’s autorun feature enables users to automate actions like data backups, opening file managers, or unmounting encrypted drives during device connection or removal. Its command-line tool allows further automation, including scheduling tasks or managing devices programmatically.

It supports all hot-plug devices, including USB, SATA, FireWire, and PCMCIA. It can also power off devices upon stopping, preventing unnecessary drive activity and extending device life. Additionally, users can disable unused devices to save power and enhance security, re-enabling them when needed.
