I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

Maybe you know why does my microSD card get corrupted any time its pulled unless "ejected"? I need to either "eject" if its on my computer or completely power down the device to keep it from corrupting. Ive tested in both camera and 3dprinter with same result.

Is it just a crap card (its kingston 32 GB)?

From what I learned check to see if the card is set for better performance it makes it write to a cache as consequence but makes it faster on the other hand. I had this problem and this was my answer but other software might be messing with it as well but I always safely eject for good measure anyways.
