I  can second that. At one time I had a USB backup drive that was
configured as half a RAID 1 set. This was so that the drive could
immediately be used in the event of a massive failure of the file
server.

Pulling this USB drive before stopping the RAID device caused the
machine to become unresponsive. I think it was trying to do some kind
of I/O, all I know was that a hard boot was the only way I could get
the machine out of that condition.
