Default Unmounting a USB external drive issues

I would wait a bit to make sure that all files written to are
complete.

Brett,

So I'm safe to just unplug the drive after I'm done writing to it?

What it does is write directly to the device without caching (the
disables caching part). The problem with removing a device is if the
data to be written is cached but not yet written and the device is
removed before the cached data can get written then bad things happen.

That does sound as if you can disconnect it w/o using the
Safe Removal, I have not seen such a device as yet.

Spirit, so what do you interpret - "Optimize for quick removal - this setting
disables write caching on the disk and in Windows, so you can disconnect this
device without using the Safe Removal icon" - to mean?

That article says nothing about 32/64 bit.
Normally it is not a good idea to remove a device
w/o using the SRH,
