Basically what "Safely remove hardware" does is electronically disconnect the attached device so that it is no longer available and tied into the operating system resources. The reason for having it is so that files can be released but also the electrical current to be withdrawn from the device so that it can be removed safely without the possibility (usually fairly remote) that you will fry the device as you remove it. If you do unplug hot so to speak then it is possible to cause file corruption on USB memory sticks and you may get a message next time you plug in that Windows has to scan for errors and fix them before you can access the information.

Can someone please tell me which should be used when?
