[QUOTE="technologist, post: 513129, member: 4134"] It's not a good idea, because it could potentially lead to a corrupted disk or incomplete files. Ejecting it lets the Mac finish any activity in progress. Similarly you shouldn't disconnect a device from a Windows PC without using the "Safely Remove Hardware" command. [/QUOTE]
