[QUOTE="William R. Walsh, post: 14109342"] Hi! It's a very good idea if you have changed the option to allow Windows to perform write-caching against the device in question. By default, Windows does not enable write-caching against removable storage devices. You may not have written anything to the drive, but: A) you don't know if the operating system or an application has/is/ will be writing something to the drive. B) Windows does not police its "dirty" (write-cached data that has yet to be written) data store all that closely. It's possible for something to be slinging around in there for quite a while in some cases. William [/QUOTE]
