Hello Thane,
Even those with the 2 USB connector type cables should not be used
24/7. In fact
all External HD's should not be run 24/7 due to inadequate Power source, of
course those SCSI/iSCSI/Fiber externals are exempt.
Ok, thanks Tim. Is it reasonable to assume that a single head USB
cable (with a max power output of 500mA) would be less reliable than
a drive with a double head, or does that not really matter?
So effectively, turn plug them in, do the backup, then shut them off.
