QUOTE(Elanges @ Jan 16 2010, 03:41 PM) ICIC... for time being. i guess i can on 24/7 PC components including HDD is made to withstand 24/7 on.. just observe the thermals on each component..  anyway, even if overheat, it cannot die wan.. the Mobo just shutdown... I ran new mobo with core duo without fan plugged in... when it reach 80-90C say 30-45min later, it auto shutdown.. no biggie.. |

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Jan 16 2010, 06:16 PM) set HDD to off when not in usage...safe energy and not much heat... not really last longer..HDD life longer too  some switch on and off every day (same with setting it off when no data received , so HDD stop spinning) some leave it spinning 24/7 (as main drive during d.loads 24/7) is considered 100% on... no conclusive data the 1st option will last longer.. maybe some even develop bad sector within their 3year waranty period.. (good thing is can claim)  |

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Jan 16 2010, 09:23 PM) of course the main cant be off... but if you have second, can be off... that's what I'm trying to say, Main HDD (which no off) also won't die. so why need to spin up and spin down the 2nd HDD? maybe spin up and down may even kill the HDD faster..like mine, the 2nd hdd will off all the time unless need to access the data in the HDD... performance wise will slow but of course spinning lesser.... good for the HDD also.. what i mean last longer is for those open 24/7.. leave the main HDD on, the rest off |
