i am very new with external hadr drives, and i was just wondering about heating. I have a bytecc aluminum 3.5 hard drive enclosure. After leaving it on with a 120gb hard drive for a night it gets really hot - is this normal?
also is it ok to just turn the hard drive off by unplugging it from teh power outlet while it still is connected to the computer? Or is this bad for the hard drive? How can i safely shut down the harddrive
