[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1744162, member: 46727"] Dropping a drive on the floor is usually a signal that it's ready for the junk heap. But to get to your previous question about not keeping the drive connected.... you should turn off the automatic or ghost backups that Time Machine will attempt to do if the drive is not attached. I keep my Time Machine drive likewise disconnected but since I'm on an iMac the ghost backups do not apply. Read through [URL="http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2013/07/view-disable-local-snapshots-backups-in-time-machine.html"]this article[/URL] which explains how to turn off the ghost or local snapshot backups that Time Machine attempts when the drive is disconnected.
