       @Melissabeartrix Always rip, never had an issue.I also think that waiting to eject is for imaginary reasons that have no basis in reality.

       @Woodswalked I think it does help with the life of the removal media ... Even if it just cuts power to stop it arching and data transfer ... Hugz But I could be wrong ... Just what I was told many years ago by a data recovery person Hugz & xXx

       @Melissabeartrix I am certain that there is some tech that is rolling their eyes at me, but my experience is that I have never had corruption on a USB drive.I have had them in the clothes washer & dryer repeatedly, have repeatedly dropped them, never used eject.  The only time one of them stopped working is after it was bent in half and the shell shattered.  Even then, I could get it to work well enough to transfer the data before giving up on it. 🤷‍♀️

       @Woodswalked @Melissabeartrix Back in the day, I had a friend who used SCSI drives and would frequently hot-swap the connections. "You're supposed power those off before swapping the connection," I said."Yeah, I know they *say* that," he said. "But I've never had a problem."About a year later, I saw him again and he was powering everything off before swapping the connection."Oh!" I said. "I notice you're powering those off before swapping them out now."He grimaced. "Yeah."
