Maybe it's just luck ? As I said, I frequently get a message from GNOME saying the writes are not finished, and that although the drive disappeared from the menus, I have to let it plugged. Especially when I write large amounts of data. Which happens frequently, because it's my backup drive. > However, I did write my on udev rule to do the mounting/unmounting, and > this was after reseaching expert advice on how to do it properly. Can you explain how your udev manages to "unmount properly" when the drive has already been unplugged ? Or do your rules just disable caching ? I could do that, but that doesn't prevent some program from writing on my disk when I want to unplug it. I've also read that disabling caching and writing all the data instantly can reduce the lifetime of the key, as it stresses more the memory cells. > > > Additionally, I don't have any LED on this drive, which makes it even > > more dangerous. > > Then my method won't work well for you. It's the only thing I miss with this key. It was handy to see what my drive was doing.
