Why is it necessary to safely eject devices from computer?

Generally it is recommended by experts to eject devices from system tray before pulling them out of a PC. It isn't really a necessity. This is done primarily to prevent data loss. If you pull out removable drives / pen drives without ejecting, they may face data loss.

You may have to format the drive to use it again. I have faced this situation myself once. Fortunately, I had a backup of the drive's data in my computer. In the worst case, the drive may stop working. But that is rare.

If you have a program open in the removable device, it will force stop if you pull it out. This is not healthy for your computer. These are the reasons why you should always eject devices before you pull them out of the computer.
