Safely Remove Hardware - Necessary or not ?

A BIG >>> NO"
Hello Friends,

I usually exchange data from friends over Mail or through storage mediums like Pen Drives , Hard Disks and SD Cards etc.

I have observed most of the people believe that we should safely remove or eject the disk after exchange of data otherwise data in the device can be lost.

Friends, windows has two removal policies-
1. Quick Removal - Where data is transfered at normal speed and each data is successfully installed. Safely Remove Hardware not required.
2. Better performance - Where data is copied at super fast speed, so some data can be lost. When we click safely remove, windows fixes missed data too. So, if safely remove hardware is not done, then some data can be lost.

By default i.e. unless you have changed the settings, windows has enabled quick removal option where storage devices can be ejected directly without safely remove.

However, if you are concerned about better speed, you can change Removal policy from Computer Management or Device Properties but in that case , safely remove option is must.

Some people also say that device can be damaged if safely hardware is not done.This is totally wrong too.

I discovered this fact before 7-8 years ago and have not used safely remove hardware feature so far and believe me, nothing wrong happened.

Reasons for low capacity storage in comparison of Storage Offered

Hey Guys,

Everyone of us use pen drive , hard disk or other storage devices and most of you might be thinking why the hell I get low storage in comparison of storage offered.

Some people say that it's reserved for system file , drivers bla bla bla.

But these answere are wrong.
Let's look in the memory calculations
1024 bytes = 1 KB
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024MB = 1GB
1024GB = 1 TB

But manufacturing companies face difficulty while taking 1024 , so they count as follows :
1000 bytes = 1 KB
1000 KB = 1 MB
1000 MB = 1GB
1000 GB = 1 TB

So, if I have purchased 1 TB hard disk, then manufacturer has given me 1000 GB or 1000,000 MB or 1000,000,000 KB or 1000,000,000,000 bytes.
But while counting my storage , my computer or device will take 1024 for calculations.
So it will count it as 1000,000,000,000 bytes or 1000,000,000,000 / (1024×1024×1024) GB i.e. 931.32 GB.
So, I will get 931.32 GB (approximation error excused).

So , I believe you have got a satisfactory reason for low capacity storage. There is nothing like drivers, system files etc.

Some facts about Devices, chargers and batteries

Hello Friends,


We use many devices in our day to day life like tablets, laptops, smartphones etc.


But I have observed certain misconceptions regarding these devices prevailing between us.
So I thought to write some facts and clear these misconceptions.

Q1. Does radiation of devices like smartphones , wifi etc harm us ?
A : Our body can absorb certain amount of radiations very easily and every devices is marketed in a particular area only if it has compiled SAR requirement.

SAR means Specific Absorption Rate i.e. what amount of radiation can be absorbed by one gram or kg of our body tissue. SAR at your head and body is different and this Absorption rate has been determined by scientists and approved by government. Any device spreading radiation above this rate can not be sold. So your fone or wifi is not harmful at all.

Q2. Whether we should charge our devices overnight ? Is it harmful for us , our battery or device ?
A : These days, all devices comes with overcharge protection. It means your device has a relay and it will activate when device ia fully charged. When it is activated, your device will stop accepting current. So, there is no issue in charging your device overnight.

Q3.  Should we charge our device only when it is dead or can we charge it anytime like at 70% or 80% or so.
A. Experts says, when your battery is completely died and you tried to charge it then several attempt is required to wake up the battery and ionise them. So, charging when dead battery is a bad decision.

Charge before it dies.

I charge my devices whenever my device is free like even at 70% , 60% or so. 
You also do it and It will not hamper your battery at all.

A battery life depends on charging cycle it has completed. Nornally a  smartphone battery has 1000 charge cycles. Thereafter, performance starts decreasing. Cycle means complete cycles and not half or part. So charging it anytime is a good decision. Your device will be always top-uped with power.

Q4  Should we use our phone or call while charging ?
A. Have you ever seen any company or government warning you not to do so ? There is no issue to call while charging. Your device may heat only but will not explode.

And it only heats because it is charging, discharging and calling af same time. Nowadays, smartphones with quick charge option heat even when you are simply charging and not calling.

Explosion of batteries happens only due to manufacturing defect.

Q5. Should we use any other company's charger for my laptop or mobile ?
A. You can use it only when both have same output current. You can check output fron back of your charger and if it's same, then there is no harm in using it.

Make sure that you are using trusted brand charger, equipment and battery.


*I hope I was able to clear some of your doubts. if you have some queries, feel free to ask me.*
