Safer to leave external HDD running 24/7 or turn off after each use?
I have an external HDD inside a Spire or something case with no fans. After running for a bit it gets pretty damn hot. I'm always scared of it overheating or something and corrupting my stuff.. but I've accidentally left it on for days before and all seems fine. I hadn't used it for like a month and I turned it on yesterday and it kind of scared me because it wasn't showing up on my computer right away. So the question is...?
