[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1646799, member: 234411"] Well, I have 4 external HDs dedicated to TM backups, 2 each for my iMac & MBPro - I also have two HDs, each w/ two partitions for CCC backups (like to be redundant!). The TM HDs are plugged into my iMac, and I do TM BUs on my laptop once a week, so need to eject properly. The CCC BUs are also done about once a week and again both partitions of each drive need to be ejected. For these HDs, ejection and dismount are really the same - take a look at the screen capture from Finder below - one of my partitioned HDs is plugged into my MBPro - each partition is mounted - when done simply click on the right-sided icon (w/ the arrow up symbol) - in my case I am given the choice to 'eject' one or both partitions. Dave :) P.S. As to whether leave your CCC HDs constantly attached or used intermittently like me, I'm sure that you'll get opinions both ways? . [/QUOTE]
