    Just unplug it, it's ok. Just make sure you don't unplug it in the middle of file transfer and you will be fine.

    That reminds me of a time when I was demonstrating how robust laptop hard drives are compared to desktop drives. I picked up a 2.5" HDD to show my friend while waving it around in my hand and totally forgot I was backing up my media files to the drive. It immediately started clicking and died within a few minutes. :eek:
