Other things that stay on all the time
 
Hi,

It's better for computers to leave them on all the time (except during bad lightning storms or when you're in Europe for six weeks or in other obvious cases).

Other things you leave on all the time are:

Clocks
Refrigerators
The thermostat for your heating/cooling
Did I mention refrigerators?

Best,

- Boyd

HDD is wearing down when on...alot? No, but it is wearing. I used to leave on, no longer. Fans have a limited life as well. My drives last longer this way. (unless they are simply made better?)

No (DNO)

Anyone use Power Settings to turn hd off after a period of non-use?
