I have no idea.

It would be more informative if your logs did not show the initial
connection, but did show what happens when you write a small file to
the drive and then go through the "Safely Remove Hardware" procedure.

The real question is whether or not Windows sends a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE 
command to the drive.
