If you remove the USB disk while the PC is accessing it, the electrical |
| 10 |
discharge across the physical contacts of the USB connector can cause terminal |
| 11 |
damage to the onboard chipset controller. |

If you're lucky only partial corruption of the filesystem occurs and the USB |
| 14 |
disk can be used again. If you are very lucky and no I/O operations were |
| 15 |
being performed at the time the USB will suffer no damage. I try to remember |
| 16 |
to unmount the USB before I remove it, but I had to learn this the hard way. |
