Check your Write-caching policy. The default setting is "Quick removal" so you should not have to go through the hassle of clicking the Safely Remove Hardware icon. Check under Computer > Removable Disk > Properties > Hardware tab > Properties > Policies. Do note you take a performance hit with the quick removal, but you don't have to remember to click the Safely Remove icon every time, and risk data loss.you shouldn't really unplug it tho if the pc is on before unmounting it because you might lose your data if it's in use.
to unmount it you just click on the safely remove hardware icon on the taskbar, and when it says the device is safe to remove then just unplug it.
