I am hoping this is the right subreddit to post this to.
I have a Seagate 2TB hard drive. I access the files on it regularly. But I have this notion in my mind that leaving it connected to the PC will damage it sooner. So I leave it unplugged and plug it in whenever I need it. I am wondering if this practice actually makes a difference or am I making things inconvenient for myself for no good reason?
Additional info: I use my pc everyday - whereas I plug in my HDD 2-3 times a week. I turn my PC off at night and when not in use, and my HDD does go to sleep with the PC if I was to leave it connected in at all times.
Hopefully someone can help me out!
