For things like cameras, and other hardware I usually do follow window's advice and disconnect the drive from the OS via software before removing the device physically but I've never bothered to do so for thumb drives. I just yank them out when I'm no longer writing or reading to them. Anyone else do so? Is there a good reason to do so or do most of you also just yank them out when finished.... (Umm that didn't sound the way I intended it too)
