I leave mine hooked up all of the time no matter if it is on or off.

at it.

Hi list. I have just done a bacckup of some of my files onto an external
USB hard drive. I know it is important to try and make sure to use the
"safely remove hardware" option from the system tray before unplugging
the drive. However, if I turn off the power to the drive? is it okay to
leave it plugged in via its USB cable to my desktop computer? Or will
this be dangerous to my data when the computer is turned off or rebooted?
The drive is not moved around. Rather, it remains sitting beside my
computer table on the floor. And so does not get knocked about. The drive
is a 500 Gig Maxta hard drive. if that is at all relevant?
Thanks Jason
