My external HDDs are all set for quick removal, so there is no cache to concern me. I don't want to bother with the Windows eject utility as it doesn't work reliably. I pull out the USB plug and then switch off the power.

Will this damage the hardware?

Losing data and damaging hardware are different categories. I am only interested in the hardware for this thread.
NB I unplug the USB then switch off power, in that order.
