I've been using this for an hour, and it's just what I've wanted for a long time. I'm constantly mounting and unmounting drives (flash and hard drives). Yes, it does eject all partitions on a disk at once, but that's not an issue for me. You just need to remember this.
It's a lot quicker than going to the Finder every time you have to unmount a drive. It also unmounts volumes faster than the Finder.

Simply does what it says but there's one caveat - Version: 0.8.1, 12/6/2008 09:29AM PST

After you have made Ejector a Login Item (using System Preferences > Account) or double-clicked its icon to launch it, an eject icon appears in your menu bar. The attractive menu contains four groups of items, separated by horizontal lines:
(1) your iDisk; inserted optical drives
(2) volumes on attached disks; mounted disk images
(3) Eject All
(4) Donate; Quit
Every volume is listed by name along with its icon.
Pick a volume from the menu and that volume is unmounted. If it's a slot-loaded optical disk, the disk is physically ejected.
The behavior is as if you had gone to the Finder, found the volume listed in the DEVICES pane, and clicked its eject icon. With two exceptions:
(1) Inconsequential. If a volume is mounted while you are displaying the menu, you won't see it listed in the menu until you release the mouse button and press it again. It's correct behavior for a menu, just different from the Finder DEVICES pane.
(2) Potentially problematic. If a drive contains multiple volumes, ejecting one volume using Ejector unmounts them all. In most cases, this is what I want. But occasionally not.
In the Finder DEVICES pane, clicking a volume-eject icon causes an alert box to appear asking you whether to eject that volume or all volumes on the drive.
A competing product, DocJector, always unmounts only the volume you chose. Some may prefer that behavior. But DocJector has its own minor problems. See my review of DocJector.

Doesn't work with the force eject feature of the new OS.
