The umount command does the "sync" so if you run "umount /media/My_External_HDD" and then you get back to the shell, you are safe to remove the HDD. I've experienced file corruption and oddity with reiserfs on a 400Gb HDD, nothing important was lost, but it was quite annoying. Which FS are you using on the HDD?
