Thanks for that. I have 3 drives, 5 partitions so I need to develop
a plan that is the least fuss and most effective.
I could manage because right now, other than Time Machine, I do not
ened to access any of the drives on a regular basis.
By the way, is there an AppleScript I could modify to eject all of
them with one keystroke?

Definitely remove it.
Mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
Or what ever your device is really isn’t that hard to execute. Unmounting or
ejecting doesn’t offer any meaningful protection.

Hi ET,
It's really a personal choice I think,
But if you've ejected it then why not unplug it also to reduce any risk of
screwing up the disk content.
I always remove my drives but as I said it's really up to the individual.

Subject: External drive security
A chat with a friend prompts this question. Is it enough to eject external
drives or should one physically disconnect them for maximum security?
