In answer to the OP, yes I too have had issues relating to removing external hard drives.
I found due to the large capacity of the external HD, and various visited folders within, the Sandisk Expresscache software will not release the external HD when I ‘remove the USB device’. Requesting a PC shut-down, the PC/ laptop takes ages to shut-down (cup of tea time) only to find the Expresscache software has been reset on restart.
Could this be a potential problem when attaching mobile phones as storage, haven’t tried and don’t intend to but, it may be something else to consider when testing/ updating.
As previously said, a tick box to ignore caching on external media may in fact be the simplest answer, after all, it’s caching for the Operating System and program files from the primary hard-drive.
I wait in anticipation of the next release
