I would always "dismount" the drive peoperly as this should ensure that will data was written to it properly. While I have never had an issue just pulling the plug, its tthe same as just turning your comp off without shutting down.

Like NFS, the USB stick it updates the directory structure, I am not sure if before or after, when it writes a sector up.
