I've been considering getting a backup drive for a while now, just to offload some of the stuff I won't be using or want to keep for a while from my main hard drive. But I've always wondered: If I don't consistently use that backup drive (say, maybe once a month for retrieval or backing up), should I just turn it on for the time I'll need it and keep it off for the rest of the time? Or keep it on all the time? I'm basically wondering, what would extend the life of the external hdd, would it deteriorate with lack of use or over use or what?
Thanks!
Thanks!
