I have never had to unplug the second drive, and, though it sometimes hangs, it's only for a copuple seconds at most. My problem, however, is a little different...it seems that sometimes the mouse pointer doesn't actually click where it's supposed to (it would confirm the click about 5-10 pixels away...)
