That seems needless. Put the second drive in the second USB port. If you
don't have a second USB port available, spend $30 or less to get a USB hub

Is that really necessary? I use XP, which may be slightly different, but
I'd like to know if there's really any data-loss danger from pulling out
flash drives (after the writing is done).
