Seagate External Hard Drive Won't Eject

[AlanAlan]

I did a backup today with my seagate hard drive today and I was prompted with a error message saying that my drive couldn't be ejected. I always do it like this and I never got an error. Does anyone know a solution to this?

or power off computer then yank

make sure the drive isn't copying or active, then you can safely remove it.

ejecting a drive is just closing whatever happening so there won't be any data corruption.

this process sometimes buggy, saying that the drive still active when its not.

After ejecting the drive, and just to make sure it is working fine, run SeaTools on it.
