hello list.

i have 2 external hard drives connected to my pc via a powered u s b hub.

my question is this:

in my search for faster start up and shut down times i am wanting to disconnect 
the drives prior to start up and also before shut down.

is it ok just to pull the u s b 2.0 cables out from the powered hub?

any help or advice is appreciated.

stephen
