If you remove the USB disk while the PC is accessing it, the electrical discharge across the physical contacts of the USB connector can cause terminal damage to the onboard chipset controller. If you're lucky only partial corruption of the filesystem occurs and the USB disk can be used again. If you are very lucky and no I/O operations were being performed at the time the USB will suffer no damage. I try to remember to unmount the USB before I remove it, but I had to learn this the hard way. -- Regards, Mick
