| question on external hard drive I just bought a western digital external usb 2.0 hard drive. Is it ok to leave these things on (like computers). Or best to shut if off (unplug it -since there is no switch) when I'm not using it?      |

| Re: question on external hard drive It shouldn't hurt a thing. These WDs draw very little power when not being used, and not too much during operation. It's probably better to leave it running than turning it off and on all the time.
