If you have to do a lot of work on something keep that data on your internal drives. And if what you're doing there is mission critical stuff back it up to the externals every so often. But other than that, the externals are powered down 99.97% of the time.patbuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348935907644937582noreply@blogger.com
