Not if it isn't sending/recieving info. On my flash drive, there is a little light that blinks when it is busy with info. So, if your's doesen't have one, then hit the 'Safely Remove Hardware'.
Good Luck!

Nah, not on a Flash drive. If you are hooking up a full size HDD with spinning motors. I would do that and turn the drive off before I unplugged it.
Edit: After reading the answer above yes that is recommended but I have never used the safe method with my flash drives..hehe

Yes, it can corrupt the data on the drive. You should ALWAYS use the "safely remove hardware" option when disconnecting any writable media or device from your machine.
