Almost everything looks fine, because some usb devices shows up on their screens symbols meaning "DO NOT UNPLUG" until power supply remains. So, many user are worried to unplug it, not having on mind this warning. I used to set my Laptop in Stand-by mode, it seems to cut the power supply for external devices but there most be a better way, a proper way to do it.
