Proper way to eject USB Drive
Hello, I am using the drag/drop feature in the UI to copy folders/files from several ReadyNAS shares to my USB connected external hard drive and everything is working fine. When I am done, what ...
There should be a settings wheel next to the volume/drive on the system->overview page on the web ui, that has an "eject" control.
I'm not sure if you actually have a rack-mount RN2120 (many RN212 owners will select that by mistake). The RN212 has a backup button on the front panel. If you press that for 10 seconds and let go, the USB drive should also be ejected (personally I'd hold it for a bit longer, just to be sure). The RN2120 doesn't have a backup button, so that method doesn't apply to that model.
