3.) Is Safe Removing Hardware on Windows 11 Important? 

This is because before you can disconnect a device from your computer, you must first prepare Windows for the change using this feature. In this way, Windows ensures that all data has been saved to the device and that the device has been removed from its queue. If you remove the device without using the Safely Remove Hardware feature, you risk corrupting your files and losing your data.

Causes:
It is not at all uncommon for your virus scanner to decide to examine things on the external hard drive for a short time, and then it quickly happens that something goes wrong with the access to the data carrier or the assignment is completely lost.


Extreme case:
I've had incidents where the entire file system wasn't recognized and you could only fix it with "chkdsk" if you don't do the process and hastily format the hard drive or something like that all the data is gone.

For this: ►► Hard drive is suddenly RAW and not NTFS / FAT32?
