Just take them out, it's never done any of my devices any harm.

If your devices don't show up, it might be because they're configured for quick removal (which disables write caching) and thus don't require safe removal.

Still a write cash does not need to crash your data when removing an device.
The time wich is won by having a write cash can be measured in what?? miliseconds!
Why not auto flush the write cash after 100ms.
Nobody would ever notice and the changes distroing your data will be near zero.

Crash your data? What are you talking about? I thought this was about devices not showing up in the Safely Remove Hardware list. If the issue goes beyond that, perhaps you could elaborate on how exactly your data is being "crashed"?

Edit: nevermind, for a moment there I thought you had started this submission. Please try to stay on topic.
