If you're stopping the drive using the Windows removable hardware manager before you remove it, that should take care of any caching issues. Perhaps try counting to 10 after stopping the device before removing it?
To answer your other question, yes, Cache' does ask Windows to flush buffers to disk before a database is dismounted. What Windows does with this kind of request varies. On IDE/ATAPI drives for instance, there is no mechanism to flush controller cache to disk.
