The existing technology in the smartphone is more diverse, ranging from software to hardware support that sometimes like a bit ‘too much'. The existing technology in a smartphone will be overstated if its users do not take advantage of the technology with maximum, or even worse many smartphone owners who still do not know what their smartphones can do.
One of the new features or technologies that look very functional in the smartphone is the feature to connect with external storage devices such as connecting flash disk directly to HP, it really helps when we need to copy or transfer some files between our external storage to our smartphone, without using the computer.
Now, just by using an OTG USB converter, we can connect flash disk to smartphones. In fact, there are some types of the flash disk that have 2 pieces port, 1 USB port commonly used to connect to a computer or laptop, and another Micro USB port that can be directly connected to the micro USB port on the smartphone (which is used to charge the battery).
Are all Smartphones able to be connected to the flash disk (external storage)?
The answer is No. Why? Because it takes the latest technology for a smartphone that can access the data in your flash disk or other storage media.
As time goes by we are confident that in the future all new smartphones product will support the OTG feature. If we are looking on the trend, such as accessing data on flash-disk and even external hard drives, it is possible that all manufacturers will soon equip all their new smartphones with this USB OTG feature.

When the first flash disk is connected to the smartphone, usually appears notification of new devices is connected and the notification is also there is a choice to remove/eject the flash disk so that if we have pressed the button then the flash disk can be removed safely, without fear of harming or removing files which are in the flash disk.
But sometimes and maybe often, after we access the files or folders in the flash disk via the smartphone, safely remove media (flash disk) in the notification area sometimes gone (disappear). Then how can we unplug the devices safely, without worrying about data loss?
How to Safe Eject / Remove Flashdisk OTG on Android Phone
Here is the safe method to eject or remove flash OTG that being connected with android phone. In this practice we use Xiaomi smartphone which known have a more stringent security system than other android phones.

- Go to >Settings
- Select >Storage
- In the USB STORAGE section select >Unmount (> remove)
- Klik >Ok. Wait a second to make sure that the system was fully disconnected.
- Unplug the flashdisk from your phone. Done!
After doing the tutorial above then the data in both media or devices is safe to be revoked (unplug) and the data will not be damaged because the process of removing the external storage media (flash disk) is correct.
We believe that this method is not only for Xiaomi smartphones, for other brands also can try the step-by-step in this tutorial. It may be slightly different from the writing /menu above but in general, they are similar, the setting to eject or unmounts is on the storage (storage) section.
Although this feature makes us very easy to transfer files from external storage, we do not recommend you connect the flash disk to your phone too often because we are afraid the ports in smartphones will scratch quickly or become reduce performance. Do it when needed, or do a lot of file transfers on a one-time connection.
