And if you have never had a corrupted file or file system on a USB stick after just pulling it of your PC, then you are lucky. I definitely have. I would say it is happens less now than before, but it still happens. It is timing. If the OS has finished writing to the stick, flushed any caches and closed the file system, all will be OK. But, if it is the middle of writing, then there probably will be problems.

That's probably why it doesn't eject properly when done in windows.
With a usb stick it's quite easy. I simply wait when the led of the stick stops flashing and then I pull it out and in that way I didn't have any problems the past years.
It tested with a lot of copying yesterday and I have no problems at all now so I'm really happy with the glo. Reading in the dark with the light at the lowest works fantastically. Does the light affect battery life much as its only 5 small leds as far as I can tell at the bottom. I have wifi disabled.
