Remove the USB drive when the computer is in sleep mode (Sleep) is it safe?

Often we will receive a warning when removing the USB drive from the computer in case the USB drive is being read or written on the system. In case when the computer hangs, or is in Hibernate mode, or in Sleep mode (sleep mode), it is clear that the USB drive does not have to write any data. It is possible that the USB drive is in the middle of a ' crossroads ' between read and write operations.

Often we will receive a warning when removing the USB drive from the computer in case the USB drive is being read or written on the system. In case when the computer hangs, or is in Hibernate mode, or in Sleep mode (sleep mode), it is clear that the USB drive does not have to write any data. It is possible that the USB drive is in the middle of a ' crossroads ' between read and write operations.

So is it safe to remove the USB drive when the computer is in sleep mode (Sleep)? Is the data recorded even if the operation has been paused? (Assuming you don't remember that specific file has been written in half into a USB drive.)

There will be no transfer at that time. You can do this to 'clean' the USB drive attached to the file system.

The program can still use the USB drive and some files may not be able to be written to the drive, even after the applications they use are closed. This is why you should not plug in the USB drive and leave the computer in hibernation mode , then switch to reopen the operating system. A mounted file system never guarantees a unified state.

Have you ever wondered why an operating system is slow to collect data when using floppy disks? That's because the cache is 'full' after writing each sector so in case the user can remove the floppy disk at any time when not in use.

On the screen you will still receive a popup notification window and your program will hang if you still try to access a floppy drive that has been removed. Just insert the floppy drive and you can do it. This process does not work with the USB drive because each time it will have a different identifier.

The program will only hang and the operating system may be suspended if the user is accessing a file.
