shanenin Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 At work where I use my Vista laptop, I always just pull out my usb flash drive as soon as the light quits flashing, without clicking on the remove device icon. I have not had any problems with lost data. I assumed Vista disables write caching by default as XP does. I just noticed on my Vista computer does not do this. My flash drive had write caching enabled. Is this the normal default behavior? If it is, why would they do that for portable drives? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
