External Hard Drive Question
Hello,
I recently purchased an external hard drive and it has no power switch, so when I plug it into the wall it powers up automatically. When I'm ready to turn it off, do I just un-plug the cord from the wall??? Thanks in advance! |

the enclosure should have a power button, if not disable write cache on disk then you can remove it without powering it off first.
