Digital Camera Memory - Eject Memory As Per Operating System Instructions

SUMMARY: Don't just yank out memory from a USB / Firewire reader; eject it properly.

Are you reading digital photos off a memory card via a USB or Firewire reader? When done, don't just yank the memory out of the reader. Use the operating system's recommended mechanism to eject memory first. If you don't:

1) The operating system may constantly ask you to reinsert the memory.

2) There is a very slight chance you might damage files on the memory card, if not the memory card itself.
