Do you keep your External HDD plugged in all the time and turn off when it's not in use?
So I have two 5TB External HDD for backup, and I have been leaving them on all the time doesn't matter if my computer is on or off... the main reason for that is because they don't have a power switch (lol?), the only way for me to power them off is to unplugged the power cord. Recently a friend of mine told me it's actually better to unplugged them if I don't use them to extend the life of the HDD.
Do you guys keep your External HDD plugged in all the time and turn off when it's not in use?
