Do you really need such frequent syncing? Bear in mind the limited write |

lifespan of flash memory, if you have a file in your home directory that |
| 12 |
is frequently updated, you could wear out the memory in a short time. |

what's wrong with using a script that syncs your hard disk with the |
| 14 |
flash drive before unmounting it? |
