+  <title>Safely remove an external drive</title>
+
+  <p>When you use external storage devices like USB flash drives, you
+  should safely remove them before unplugging them. If you just unplug
+  a device, you run the risk of unplugging while an application is still
+  writing to it, which could result in corrupted files. When you use an
+  optical disc like a CD or DVD, you can use the same steps to eject
+  the disc from your computer.</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <item><p>From the <gui>Activities</gui> overview, open <app>Files</app>.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Locate the device in the sidebar. It should have a small
+    eject icon next to the name. Double-click the eject icon to safely
+    remove or eject the device.</p></item>
+  </steps>
+
+  <p>Alternatively, you can right-click the device and select either
+  <gui>Eject</gui> or <gui>Safely Remove Drive</gui>. USB drives can't
+  be physically ejected, so for these devices, there is no difference
+  between <gui>Eject</gui> and <gui>Safely Remove Drive</gui>.</p>
+
+  <p>If you have any files on the device open in any applications, you
+  will not be able to remove the device. You will be prompted with a
+  window telling you the volume is busy, and listing all the open files
+  on the device. Once you close all the files on the device, the device
+  will automatically be removed.</p>
+
+  <p>You can also choose <gui>Unmount Anyway</gui> to remove the device
+  without closing the files. This can cause errors in applications that
+  are reading those files.</p>
+
+  <p>If you can't close one of the files, for example if the application
+  using the file is locked up, you can right-click the file in the
+  <gui>Volume is busy</gui> window and select <gui>End Process</gui>.
+  This will force the entire application to close, which could close
+  other files you have open with that application.</p>
