ELi5: Why does pulling a USB drive out before you select “eject” matter?
In: 1
I believe if you are using [windows 10 or 11](https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/8/18300734/microsoft-safely-remove-eject-usb-flash-drive-not-needed-windows-10) you don’t need to eject. You need to eject on all macs because they use some sort of caching that still needs to be written to the drive and if you pull it without ejecting you may lose data
