Hello everybody,
I have two 1TB external USB hard drives, one is a Seagate and another is a Western Digital.
They are both NTFS and since I have installed the read and write support via fuse I would like to use them to make scheduled backups through a software.
The best thing would be to keep them always connected to the PC without ever disconnecting-connecting them.
I am not a great hardware expert in general, do you think leaving them attached could risk some damage to physical sectors, clusters, etc. etc.?
Perhaps it would be better at the end of the day to disconnect them first and then turn off the PC or by leaving them connected I can feel quite calm about their future integrity?
Thank you
