something with shifting factors wears out extra immediately the longer that's used. besides the fact that, difficult drives have become quite hardy. in many situations, you could think of that that's smarter to show it off, yet some human beings carry to the thought the turning on and rancid reasons enlargement and contraction of the circuitboards, for this reason inflicting an early dying. interior the main suitable diagnosis, it would not harm plenty to leave them on.

Dont leave it on ALL the time...as long as it is connected to ur computer and ur computer is NOT on.
use it only when u r using ur computer...
otherwise, even a lightning can cause a rather high voltage current to flow in and can damage not only ur hard disk, but also ur computer
this rule applies to ALL ur electrical and electronic devices..
i have experiance of a burned out telivision set which i left switched on
