After having a little fun with Disk Utility, I think another difference between 'Unmount' and 'Safely Remove' is that the latter one would cut the power down whereas the former one wouldn't.For USB drive case, click 'Safely Remove' button would not only unmount its file system but also wipe it out from the /dev/ block devices. So even for single partition device, it would also be more appropriate to have the both options accessible in context menu.
