Indeed the safety remove clear the tension at the USB
connection, avoiding spurious tensions to damage the pen
drive.

Yeah, it's common to all disk access means where you can write data to
the disk.

It varies slightly depending on which flavour of Ubuntu you're using,
but genrally there's an eject symbol (it looks a bit like an
underlined '^') next to the drive in the left pane of the file browser.
Clicking that will make it safe to remove.

I noticed that there are two types of "umounting" a USB drive on the desktop.

1. The first type involves "ejecting the drive" in GNOME but the USB
drive power light remains on.

2. The second type involves going to the disk utility and "powering
down the drive" and the USB drive power light goes off.

I have experienced no loss in data with both methods. I note that
Microsoft's default action is the second type.
