In Nautilus, right-clicking on a USB-External-Harddrive only provides
the "unmount" option also. Selecting it doesn't remove the device from
the left-pane of Nautilus NOR does it remove the device from Unity's
Task-bar.
In 12.04, you could right-click on the device (from the Unity Taskbar)
and select "Safely Remove". After that the device would be removed from
the task-bar and you could then unplug it with some degree of
confidence.
"Safely Remove" and "Eject" are missing from the Unity-Taskbar-Device-
Icon's context menu. I don't know how Nautilus was before, but it too
doesn't provide those options now (in its left-pane, under the "Devices"
section). Nautilus may have been that way before; I cannot confirm that.
Yet, this bug report is specifically indicating the un-evolved behavior
of the Unity-Taskbar-Device-Icon's Context-Menu, which seems to have un-
evolved to a less-ensuring indicator of "whether it is safe to unplug
your USB hard-drive or not".
