[QUOTE="dotdotdot, post: 1552259, member: 280973"] I agree that starting electronic items cold may cost energy and the sudden surge of power may not be good for the item. However, cumulatively, my antics have paid off in lowering my electric bill. Also, cannot see how a spinning hard drive never stopping (Sleep) would wear out less fast than shutting it down; a stopped mechanical device does not wear out. [/QUOTE]
