Yes, that's true, although I doubt the extra time is significant. Writing to the internal hard drive isn't a major bottleneck these days - at least, not with the sort of work I do on the computer. Still, it's a good point, and worth keeping in mind.

I'm not sure either, but I think it's based on the USB port. So you'd have to be sure of plugging the device into the same port every time. (But don't take my word for that.)
Actually, I see that I have disabled write caching globally. I must have done that several years ago, because I don't remember doing it. But I always eject any writable device in any case, to be on the safe side.
