Have you ever tested for Better Performance when using a USB drive for writing a large multi-GB file so see if it really helps? I can see it helping on lots of small files but not so much for a large file. This was a problem on SSDs - great performance until the caches got filled and then it was back to the device's native write speed.
I don't have a dog in the fight, I'd sooner be a bit slower but with less chance, albeit small, of corruption.
@CDC9762,
No, I have not conducted any research into the time differences between "Better Performance" and "Quick Removal." I do copy my large image files to external drives, and I also copy lots of small files, about 6,000 files, generated by a Robocopy batch file I created, both using Teracopy. I relied on online research to choose "Better Performance," plus the admission by Windows itself that it promises "better performance."
I have been using USB Safely Remove since December 2019. I have never had any corruption to an external hard drive or a flash drive using that program to eject my external media, and it gets used almost daily. On Fridays, when I do my imaging and copying, it is used with multiple devices that day.
This is just my experience. YMMV.
Have a great day.
Regards,
Phil
