Just because you didn't lose data doesn't mean it's safe. All systems
are known to use caching, and GNOME frequently informs me, after having
asked to unmount my key, that I shouldn't unplug it until it has
finished to write data on it.

Additionally, I don't have any LED on this drive, which makes it even
more dangerous.
