The surface is based on Linux. The normal shutdown procedure makes sure all buffered SDD writes (or USB drives) are flushed before shutting down. Shutting down without using the proper procedure risks leaving the buffered writes not written. Linux detects improper shudown and warns you about it.
Your best best is to follow the documented procedure and avoid the risk of file corruption.
