Is there a .Net internally supported way to identify Removable devices and
USB hard drives and then programmatically "eject"/"Safely Remove" them? Or do
I have to go out to Win32 SDK, etc.?

I have not done this myself, but you can do a search on Removable Storage Management (RSM) APIs to accomplish this.  And no, this does not exist inherently in the framework.
