Just for interest: Why does it damage the drives? My usual use-cases are: Have some external HDDs dedicated for music, foto-this, foto-that, a dozen of USB-sticks, and a dozen of SD-cards for cameras etc. Data is copied between them, i.e. I plug in the device, open the file-browser etc. Then unmount/remove the storage media. As I need to do this cross-OS (Debian, Win XP/7, OSX), both Win and OSX write their hidden files crap on the devices.
