[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 824038, member: 8287"] Usually both Windows and OSX warn you to not remove a Flash drive unless you unmount it. In OSX either drag the drive to the trash and it will eject or right click and click on Eject. I know a lot of people who ignore the warnings and have had no issues but I also know many who lost all the data on the drive. When the drive is mounted, files are open and yanking it out without ejecting it can corrupt files. Does not always happen but much better not to take a chance. I once pulled out the USB 2.0 cable on a 80GB external hard drive and the who drive was corrupted. Lost everything. Nothing would repair it. Better safe than sorry! :D [/QUOTE]
