USB drives are easy to remove from WinXP and Vista. If you are using Win98, Win98SE, Win2k, or WinME the OS will howl and tell you that you should have clicked on a tray icon to "safely remove the device."

So if you are in WinXP or Vista turning it off or removing the USB plug as long as the drive active light is off is fine.
