How to use a usb-drive / pendrive?
When pluging the pendrive, a message shows:
[ 67.317741] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found
[ 67.317741] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
I don't mind having that message, because that's just the way the media is formatted, and I find it good that the system is reminding this to me, but why after the message shows the CLI stays inside a process there? Should I just press ctrl + c to terminate the process?
How to access the media and copy files from and towards it?
Finally how to remove the media safely?

The CLI does not stay 'inside a process'. That kernel messages was displayed on your terminal independent of the shell. You are in effect still at the previous shell prompt; just hit Enter if you want to move to the next line.
To access data on the drive, you will probably want to mount the drive, for example
mount /dev/sdb /mnt
to view the drive under /mnt. When done using the drive, you would ensure no processes were accessing the drive, and then
umount /dev/sdb
These commands will probably need to be run with superuser privilege (sudo). You may also need to specify other options; check the man page.

After unmounting, you might also want to do aecho 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/deletefor a maximally safe removal. That command effectively tells the kernel "prepare for hot-unplugging of block devicesdb."
