Safely Remove Device From Your Computer
Always eject a storage device from your computer before physically disconnecting it. Your computer must perform filing and housekeeping operations on the device before it is removed. If you disconnect the device without using the operating system's eject function, files can become corrupted or damaged.
Important After ejecting FireCuda Forge, disconnect the USB cable from the device and wait until the LEDs turn off (at least 30 seconds) before disconnecting power. This allows the device to complete internal housekeeping operations. Disconnecting power immediately after ejecting the device may increase the risk of data corruption.
