Eject drives using the Menubar

eject icon3 Eject drives using the MenubarHere’s a quick one. There are many ways to eject a drive mounted onto your Mac, by pressing (Cmd+E) while having the drive selected on the desktop, or clicking the eject button on the sidebar of the Finder window.

Sure they get the job done, but there’s a faster way, by ejecting from the menubar. There’re two apps that can do that, but I’m just gonna talk about one, reason being that the menubar’s icon looks better and integrates well with Leopard style menubar icons!

Semulov (Free) lets you eject any drive, coupled with Growl notifications for mounting and unmounting.

That’s it! Your one stop location to eject any of your drives, be it disk images, hard drives, iPods, networks, MobileMe iDisk, FTP.

Check out Ejector (Free) too which replicates the same functionality.
