When it comes time to dicsonnect drives from your Mac or PC, it can be a time-consuming process. Heading into Finder on a Mac or the Taskbar, File Explorer, or Device Manager on a PC and then clicking each of those eject buttons next to your drives, waiting for a drive to safely eject, and then repeating for each drive can be a painful process for those who depend on more than a few drives to power their workflow.

That’s where the free OWC Dock Ejector 2.0 utility comes in. Dock Ejector 2.0 makes disconnecting all of your connected storage as simple as a single click. Here’s how.

How Dock Ejector 2.0 Works

Dock Ejector 2.0 is the ultimate solution for efficiently and safely ejecting all connected devices, including SoftRAID and AppleRAID volumes. The app works by intelligently disconnecting all storage devices that are connected to a dock or hub.

And while OWC Dock Ejector 2.0 is available for both Macs and PCs, Mac users do get some special benefits. While some competing docks offer similar functionality to Dock Ejector, Dock Ejector simplifies the process of being able to quickly eject all devices from a connected dock. While other docks require users to boot into Recovery Mode, lower Mac security settings, reboot multiple times, and install system extensions, Dock Ejector 2.0 eliminates the need for this long setup process entirely. With OWC Dock Ejector 2.0, simply install the software, approve the system extension, and you’re done.

Plus, we don’t care which dock you’re using. This updated version works with all docks, including non-OWC docks and hubs, expanding compatibility and drive protection to all Mac and PC users.

To use Dock Ejector 2.0, you simply ensure all of your storage devices are connected to your dock or hub, open Dock Ejector and then click “Eject Volumes” to remove all disks. Upon clicking eject, Dock Ejector ensures all data has been written before any disk is unmounted, then safely ejects the dock and everything connected to it with no worrying over loss of files or fragmenting files.

Once a device has been ejected, you can simply plug it back in.

Dock Ejector 2.0 Improvements

The following are improvements in Dock Ejector 2.0:

  • Works for All: The updated Dock Ejector 2.0 now functions with any dock or hub, not just OWC models, giving you universal convenience and compatibility.
  • Streamlined install process (new for Mac): OWC is the first to ship software that enables high-power Thunderbolt dock ports without requiring reduced macOS security settings.
  • Enhanced Volume Mounting (new for Mac): OWC Dock Ejector 2.0 simplifies volume management like never before. If you unmount a volume, you can easily remount it without the hassle of unplugging cables or using Apple's Disk Utility application.

Just One More Reason Docks Rule

Dock Ejector 2.0 is one more example of the streamlining and efficiency benefits a dock can bring to your workspace.

Connecting a dock to your host machines means you’ll most likely never run out of available ports. And when it comes to docks having the right ports, OWC docks and hubs have you covered. If you need more blazing fast, top-speed-possible, Thunderbolt 5 ports, check out the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub. If you’re still rocking a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 machine and need professionally-focused ports, check out the Thunderbolt Pro Dock which not only provides you with an extra Thunderbolt port alongside fast USB-C and USB-A ports, but also throws in a 10-gigabit Ethernet port, SD card slot, and a CFexpress card slot. Check out all of our docks and hubs right here.

Plus, keeping everything connected to your dock rather than the available ports on your machine makes for a cleaner workspace and makes it easier to disconnect tools when you need to, especially for laptop users. And by adding Dock Ejector 2.0 to the mix, having all of your connected storage flowing through one port of your host machine means even more efficient, and safer management of your drives—especially while on the go.
