[QUOTE="andrebnu, post: 389024, member: 28649"] I've just bought an external Maxtor OneTouch III 500GB FW800, and I have one question regarding ext hdd's. It's been said that, switching hdds on and off everytime may cause malfunctioning. (don't know if it's phisically or in the file structure). I was thinking...should I leave my HDD always on, even if I unplug the firewire connection (if I want to get around with my mbp)? Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
