Talk:Removable media

Removable vs. removeable

Hopefully I'm not stepping into one of those UK/US things, since an online dictionary says both are correct, but "removeable" gets 1.6 million hits on Google, while "removable" gets 22.4 million hits. Based on that, it seems that this should be moved back to Removable media, but I wanted to get some input from others before doing so. --Interiot 22:36, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Removable vs. removeable

There is no question about the spelling, of course it is the version without the second "e", as defined in the "Oxford English Dictionary", the dictionary that sets the standard for all the rest to adhere to. It is the bastardisation of the English language by the U.S.A. that serves to confuse. (User: Meldrew)

USB flash drive?

Should USB flash drive be mentioned? -- Frap 01:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

How removable drives are treated differently by the OS

One thing that I'd suggest adding would be information about how operating systems treat removable media differently from non-removable. For example, is it the case (as I assume) that there is no delayed-write caching on removable media? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.9.5.186 (talk) 15:57, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

While the specifics of this can vary greatly depending on arguments to the mount command, I agree that a generalized description would be a nice addition, particularly as it relates to Android's push to not include removable media on devices that ship with it. Preferably by somebody with more knowledge than myself. Junkyardsparkle (talk) 21:58, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

ROM cartridges

Should not ROM cartridges be included? Surely a game cart is a piece of removable media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.218.24.11 (talk) 13:33, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
