I am running XP-Pro w/ auto-update enabled on an Intel WN845 MB.
After years of dutifully turning off my computer after each use about a year
ago I started leaving it on all the time. My recollection is that I heard or
read that stopping and restarting the mechanical devices was harder on them
than leaving them running.
I recently purchased a battery backup and the manufacturer encourages use of
the hibernation feature in Windows. I tried it out and found it turns off the
drives and forces a restart when "coming out". This leads me back to the turn
off or not question.
I would be grateful for any thoughts List member might have.
TIA,
Harry
