Technical Wisdom

Q: Why do I need to eject hard drives before unplugging them?

A: You risk losing data if you don’t. OS X doesn’t write information to the drive immediately - it often caches it to make operations faster. If you unplug a drive without first ejecting it, OS X may not have a chance to actually write that data to the drive!
