Hello.
The question is how much time between a hard drive shutdown and a hard drive start is better than let it working? Thanks! |

You should get a few answers to this question. Mine is `Do you leave your car running on the drive 24\7 ?.` If you do, your starter and battery should last a long time. best wishes..OJ |

wrote in message oups.com... Hello. The question is how much time between a hard drive shutdown and a hard drive start is better than let it working? Thanks! Are you asking is it better for the hard drive to turn the system off when not in use, or the minimum time between shutting a HD off and turning it back on? If it's the first question, you'll get many responses from both sides of the fence. 'My' response is that it really doesn't matter. The extra wear-n-tear from a cold starting HD could easily be offset by the extra electron migration taking place on one that operates 24/7. If you are asking what is a safe time allotment between a hard drive powering down and powering back on I'd say a few seconds. -- "I don't cheat to survive. I cheat to LIVE!!" - Alceryes |

your starter and battery should last a long time. Good analogy...I'll remember that one. -- "I don't cheat to survive.
