[QUOTE="walmartconnect, post: 390887, member: 21669"] I rarely turn anything electronic off, to include an external HD. On the topic of turning off any type of media before ejecting it... I always kind of felt like that was a myth. They say "your data may be corrupted", but that's only the case if you were actively writing to the disk. It's good practice to safely eject everything, but not completely necessary in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
