Safely remove hardware

What does this do? What will be the difference if you safely remove an external hard drive opposed to just unplugging it?

 

If data is being written on that hard drive when you remove it, there may be problems, such as errors or corrupted information

 

all you have to do is to turn off your computer before remove hardware

 

Have had to just unplug a few times and do not seem to of had any serious side affects or lost data.

 

I never do it..... Very rarely (once in a lifetime) ....

No point in doing it, just wastes 10 seconds of my life

 

Ahh...nice, that's the best way to ruin you data, along with external drive

 

It will happen only when you have a very important data....it would say corrupt
