Not if you follow Randy's advice and are careful to unmount the device before disconnecting it. Nonetheless, considering the kind of use made of these devices and the ease with which they can be yanked from their connectors, I'd consider it a dubious choice not to mount them with the synchronous write option. > There are known issues that USB 2 device do not using the right speed > mode. I don't see what that has to do with synchronous file-system writes.
