We can thank gnomers, they made linux very similar to Window$ 7. Is does not power off USB devices on safely removal :) For example, Window$ XP (which is in EOL stage) powers off the port.
It seems that Nautilus and Gnome disk utility also missed 'Safely remove drive' option. I reported corresponding bugs to launchpad and upstream (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1127135 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk- utility/+bug/1127127). ** No longer affects: nautilus -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067876 Title: Missing "Safely Remove Drive" and "Eject" options from Quicklists.
