[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 412193, member: 2960"] There is no need to contact Western Digital or Apple on this matter. If you have removed the device improperly, then yes, it will take a longer time to mount when you reattach it. This is because it will need to be checked for problems, etc. The larger the disk and the more files you have on it, the longer the check will take. This is done to ensure that the disk hasn't been damaged, and so it won't cause damage to the system it is being mounted to. I would advise that you simply unmount it properly each and every time, then you won't have to worry about a longer remount. [/QUOTE]
