External SSD Problem

I Have just bought an external SSD (500GB) and whenever I eject it it tells me a file is being used, when it's clearly not and so I just have to take it out and i'm scared of data loss

Could Anyone Help?

RE: External SSD Problem

I mean do you have any apps installed on it? Could be that. What do you actually store in it?

RE: External SSD Problem

Depends on which windows system you are using. Sometimes you just need to eject the drive twice for it to work.
Older windows systems required an unlocker program to release the drive.

Also could be a antivirus program running a check on the drive and it hasn't finished yet.
Don't piss off old people.
The older we get the less "life in prison" is a deterrent.
