Yes, but you might want to wait a few seconds before you take it out. Also, I always check to make sure that it's off by seeing if it is still on the desktop. If you don't do that, sometimes you get an error message. I don't know, but I guess the computer is doing something with the drive sometimes after the command e is done.
Just so you know, I used to be able to get a program called Growl to let me know when drives were ejected, but I haven't been able to get that thing to work lately.
