    Nope it's not really needed on modern systems as long as you don't save something to the USB device while unplugging it you're safe.

    Just wait until LED stops blinking after you are done and pull it out.

    I always safely remove....just to be sure....I once suddenly lost 2TB of data(no idea how I lost it but it could be restored but all exes and many pics were fucked up)....I don't want that to happen again

    Used to unplug it unsafely until I corrupted an entire backup disk with years of backup material.

    @crafter this is untrue. USB device has garbage collection protocols running and in some low probability you could corrupt the whole device by doing that.

    Doesn't depent on the filesystem of the USB? Like if you FS wrote trace and journals of what happened?

    @matanl the data connectors are shorter than the power connectors ao that when you remove it, it senses the action while it still has some power to perform important actions
