There's a procedure people go through to take out the flash drives. Something like:
I've found that just jumping to "step 3" and removing the thing immediately (of course not while editing any of it's contents)... is just fine. No data is lost or... anything.
I did it in front of a group member for a project, and he called me an idiot. (lol) I plugged my drive back in and showed him all was ok. (pwned )
So now I ask, what is the point of "safely removing" the USB?
- Right click icon in bottom right
- "Safely remove some device" or "Eject device"
- then physically remove device
