Eject Thunderbolt Dock in one click?

[Pauly 6 String]

Is it possible to eject a thunderbolt dock and all of its connected drives in one click? Or am I stuck ejecting each disc one at a time whenever I want to move my laptop from my desk?

Thanks

Pauly

Many dock manufacturers provide just such a tool for their dock.

Even if there isn't one, you can eject multiple volumes at once by just selecting all of them and choosing to eject.

- Yes, or drag a selection over them with the cursor. The keyboard shortcut is Cmd + E, if you want to use that.

Then the next question is, is there a way to remount ejected drives that have not been unplugged?

e.g. You want to sleep drives before going to bed, then in the morning remount and carry on working.

- I'm quite sure you could do that relatively easily with a script similar to those suggested in the thread I linked to.

Though you shouldn't need to unmount volumes to get drives to sleep; they should be doing that anyway.

Some do, some don't, unfortunately.

I've a WD TBolt1 My Book Duo, and it annoyingly wakes up repeatedly while my MBP is asleep. :-/
