To the best of my recollection:
"Unmount" unmounts a single partition
"Safely Remove Drive" unmounts all partitions on the device and powers down the device.
"Eject" unmounts the media and then ejects it
They all sync the device first.

Subject: [frgeek-michiana] How to remove USB drive
A question came up at FGMLUG regarding removing USB thumb drives
in Ubuntu: Are “Eject” and “Safely Remove Drive”
interchangeable options? The latter is clearly the safe bet.
But what about Eject? Is it only for CDs and DVDS? Or will
it flush drive buffers too?
Too lazy to Google,
