I'm about to purchase my first external drive for backup. It needs to be USB and I just wanted to check they can be disconnected from the PC and power supply as soon as the data has been transferred?
 
Thanks. I always remove my USB pens and CompactFlash cards without selecting "safely remove hardware" which one of my mates was quite surprised about, I didn't even know about it.
