Can't safe-eject because my device is constantly "in use"

I can’t safe-eject my USB 3.0 hard drive dock because my “Device is currently in use.” This happens all the time with this device, but I have not had this problem with other devices. Is there an easy way to fix this?

Hello Mark,

Just a few quick questions and we can see about taking care of this problem.

  1. Which model drive dock do you have?
  2. Are you on a Mac or a PC?
  3. Did this issue just recently start happening?

Best wishes.

  2. PC
  3. I’ve been using this device for about a week. It happened occasionally with similar devices I’ve used in the past, but with this one it seems to happen regularly.

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the information. It sounds like Windows is accessing a file(s) on the drive in the docking station causing the safe-eject to fail.
