(Get the code!)
Don't know if this adds any further value to the discussion, but here's my system stats:
Ubuntu 11.04
Kernel 2.6.38-8-generic
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
~$ lspci | grep USB
00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4)
00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4)
00:02.2 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4)
I can confirm Edmund Crouchs comment on the USB2.0/1.1 issue: Ubuntu's palimpsest tells me my disk is connected with 480 MB/s initially, and with only 12 MB/s after the first safe removal.
I have not yet suffered from data loss (my external hard drive holds two ext4 partitions). How could data loss happen anyway, since the write-buffers are flushed on save removal (Am I messing up facts)?
