rh535 Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) He said when you have something in usb like a flashdrive and you don't do a safe remove of the hardware that it will blow up. Is that true? P.S. What i mean in a safe remove is going down in the taskbar and clicking the hardware and clicking safe remove.

Archerzz Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 From my personel experience with pulling things out in a rush no, I have never had my flashdrives blow up by pulling them out without doing a safe remove. It can corrupt data on the flashdrive but not blow up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_cow Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 I heard from a guy at a lan party that ever time you do that you loose aproximately 1.2mb of storage or something. That guy was a jerk and he is full of himself all the time so i wouldnt trust that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivingGhost Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I lost the flash drive once by doing that, I was mad at it, yanked it out, lost my grip, and it fell into/behind something and I couldn't find it... :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
