Sorry not guaranteed by what? I am guessing you have a legacy device
that does not reset fully on write, and you need to wait?

Generally I don't much like touching legacy, no telling what
that will do. Case in point, is your device a pure
legacy device or a transitional device?

The problem with this is that it will break surprise
removal even worse than it's already broken.
