I realise this may sound like a daft question, but I am not all that technically minded. Can I use my new LaCie 500gb desktop hard disk with my MacBook Laptop - i.e. does it have to remain plugged into both the computer and the power supply at all times to retain the information I put on it? I've had a search and found no answers, the only thing I found from the LaCie website is that you shouldn't leave it plugged into the power for long periods of time if you are not using it...
All I wish to do is safely back up my music and pictures (of which there are millions) so that I can begin removing them from the MacBook. I need to bung a load on the hard disk, to free up space, and leave it there until I need the information again. This is likely to be an issue if it needs to be plugged into the laptop permanently as, obviously, my laptop is never static.
I'm probably being stupid, but I have thousands of pictures and other information that I need to back up and I am frightened of losing it all!
Any advice would be gratefully received.
