External Hard Drives

[Ricky]

I'm using an external hard drive now for file sharing.

Occasionally I leave it on overnight. Is there any limit to how long you should leave one of these on?

I guess my concern is in external hard drives, they might not cool down as well adn I'm worried about a crash.

Anybody know? I know this isn't the computer geek forum but there are alot of technically savvy people on here. Thanks.

wont hurt it to leave it on overnight

should have kept the instructions when you bought the drive.
