Im pretty sure eject makes it safe to remove where as unmount just unmounts the drives partition or partitions, dont really know the specifics of either in a technical sense.

I would like to know whether I should eject or unmount a USB flash drive before unplugging it. PCManFM-Qt does not have a "safely remove drive" option, only "eject" and "unmount".

I did some research and I think that "eject" is the closest thing to "safely remove drive". Is there a viable software that can remove USB flash drives safely? 

Thanks
