[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1747490, member: 46727"] Member "Sawday" has a good point. With a desktop machine (iMac, Mini, Pro) external hard drives can remain connected at all times. And, unless you have some other backup scheme being used, the Time Machine drive will work best staying connected. Now, if you're a neat freak and don't like all those USB cables dangling, I guess then you can connect and disconnect at will. Seems to me a powered hub would be more convenient in situations like that. [/QUOTE]
