We have, at least those who have been some years, a lifetime of golden rule on the computer: pre-linking pendrive or external computer disk we have to remove it regularly from the computer if we do not want to risk losing data.
However, and although both systems can now work with those external storage units, either iOS or IPOS have optional opt-out options before physically removing the cord. How can we do this surgery? Or no longer needed?
The solution is simple: no need to uninstall pendrives or external disks. You can disconnect the cable directly, but be careful: to do this you must have finished copying and / or transferring data between the device and the external disk. If you do it in the middle of the copy process, you run the risk of losing or damaging the data.
But once you have finished copying or moving files and closing any file stored on the external disk that you have viewed in any program, you can remove the disk directly without any problems. That is because of how iOS puts the data into writing.
HOW it relieves you of manually removing external equipment
On systems like MacOS or Windows how to write data and function & # 39; cache & # 39; it is not too expensive to understand and example. Consider copying a PDF from your computer to pendrive that you're connected. Even though the interface tells you that the copy is successful, the PDF file will be copied to the program cache and you will be responsible for writing the file to pendrive it is on the line of activities that the program should do.
If you remove the disk correctly, MacOS and Windows prioritize a copy of that PDF file and until it is done they do not actually indicate that you can disconnect the disk. pendrive from the computer. If you made it "green", the pending copy was passed and you risk losing that data.
On the other hand iOS and IPOS, do not include copying or moving files to the task line. They did it right thereSo we only need to close the open files and complete those copies to be able to disconnect external storage units without any problems. It's scary, but it's safe. There are those, to be more secure, close the Files application, but in theory it is not necessary.
