Hi Bill, The only thing it is going to hurt if left on is the bearings. My machine is never shut down, and I haven`t had a bearing failure yet, but HD`s are replaced with larger ones every once in a while. To me, it is annoying to walk up to my computer and wait while the hard drive is initializing.
