In “Quick removal” policy, you can remove your pen drive when you want. You will not lose data, Even if you remove pen drive without clicking on “safely remove hardware and eject media”.

For such small improvement, you need not to put pen drive in risky mode. Because you must safe remove pen drive with this mode other wise you may lose data.
