I have had no problem removing a flash drive since Windows
XP. Not sure if ever, really. I do wait until my operation is
completed. Otherwise, nowadays it is no concern. I too pay
attention to the flashing light, in addition to making sure I
am not doing anything with the thumb drive. If it is booting,
that is a good time to pay attention to the light. But if it
is just being used for data, knowing that the operation has
completed seems to be plenty.
Occasionally I have looked at the system/notification tray
icon, for what it is worth.
Nowadays, the OS probably takes care of it for us. It certainly
should.
