I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

From what I learned check to see if the card is set for better performance it makes it write to a cache as consequence but makes it faster on the other hand. I had this problem and this was my answer but other software might be messing with it as well but I always safely eject for good measure anyways.
