Eject the USB safely





Eject the USB safely
We solve one of the great myths of the history of humanity: to what extent is necessary to eject USB stick safely before you disconnect it from your computer?

A few weeks ago, in TICbeat to approach the eternal question: is it bad to charge the mobile at night? On this occasion, again over another of the most frequent questions regarding computer users: is obligatory to eject safely USB memory key?




Actually, this is a question of simple and complex at the same time. In summary, always we must expel a unit before removing it, even if your computer does not have a specific option to do so. Mac and Linux have a button to do so, but in Windows this function is not always easy to locate. Normally, by clicking on the icon "Safely remove hardware" in system tray, is displayed a list of the devices that we can remove.

The main danger of removing a USB suddenly is that the data may be corrupted. Although the unit is not operating (copying, typing and pasting files) may not be all stored information. By default, most operating systems use the cache to improve the performance of a team. The button to eject a device tells the machine that you must clear the cache, i.e., you must ensure that all pending actions have already been completed and that no process will be interrupted.
