Why should you use Safely Remove Hardware icon
Dont worry, not exactly will happen. But may be your USB feels like this.
There are some reasons why you should use Safely Remove Hardware icon to unplug your USB device -
1. If it is a mass storage USB device like flash memory or a hard disk, especially in an external enclosure, just pulling the plug could render the device unusable and data loss can follow if there is still some data in a cache waiting to be written to the device. By using the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon it ensures that all caches are flushed and the device is in a sleep state and any tasks assigned to it is completed.
2. Another reason why you should use the “safely remove hardware icon” is that in a USB port, there is a current running through it to your connected device when its in use. So if you just pull out the USB device without the “Safely Remove Hardware ” icon the power shock caused by unplugging your device with a current running through it can corrupt it’s data. Using the “safely remove hardware icon” tells Windows to turn off the power to the USB device and then tells you that it is safe to remove the device.
So dont need to attend rumours that it is not necessary to use safely remove hardware icon and it doesnt matter. Its your device, you have to protect it.
