It's about stopping it wear leveling operations. Modern storages DO shuffle data between blocks even when you don't write anything to them, power loss will cause data loss even on read-only systems. (users of raspberry pi with read-only SD cards can tell you lots of stories on this topic). Therefore we need to signal the device in advance we're going to remove its power. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
