A woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

If you connect the usb drive as a hot swap device (normal for anything EXCEPT hard drives), the data transfer is a tad slower but you can then "just pull the plug" with no worries about data corruption.
I don't understand what you are saying? (too technical for me sorry)
When I get ready to unplug the external drive I unclick on the little icon thingy and a window comes up that asks me do I want to unplug now, and then it thinks a minute and usually the computer eight-ball comes up "yes, it is well-advised" or something like that. If it says "noooo your will turn green and rot off, don't unplug!" it's usually because I still have my photo editing software up, and some pics from the external drive still up and so on...
If that is not what you are talking about please let me know but dumb it down a bit lol.
