It's normal. You use it to safely remove your mass storage device like an
external hard drive. If you left click on it, it will give you the option to
choose "safely remove ...". If you click on that, a bubble will come up and
tell you "now you can safely remove ...". If you remove your external hard
drive, the icon should disapear.

some printers have flash memory card slots so that the card
from a camera can be inserted and printed directly.

Then you'll have to do more looking to find out why the
safely remove icon is staying in the system tray. It was
just a thought.
