[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1932516, member: 396914"] Is that your use case? I mean, when I am doing things in Photos, I am seated at a desk or table, with lots of surface area so I can take notes of what I am planning to do and to check them off as I do them. Even when I travel, taking a couple of small external drives with me is fairly easy. I have two Samsung SSDs that are each smaller than a pack of cards, for example. One is even "ruggedized." But when I use Photos, I still find a sturdy surface to work on. But if you are using Photos while riding on your motorcycle... Shutting down puts some additional "authority" behind the eject drive function. Shutting down will, for example, kill both of those daemon processes I listed, plus any other background activities that might hold up your effort to eject it. In that shutdown, the file integrity is protected pretty well, so I think that is a very small risk. And you DO make backups, right? [/QUOTE]
