Always safely remove hardware using the task bar before you disconnect it.

Anyone got one of these I was reading on a few sites some peoples drives have broken very quick.
Not trying to sound like an idiot but is there anything I could do or anything to prevent the drive from corrupting because I plan on transferring all my movies and music to it. Probably about 230GB total at the moment quite a lot to lose!
