Is there some advantage other than power savings to have the MyBook Duo go into sleep mode at a certain time? I like not having to wake it up to use but if there is an advantage to letting it go to sleep mode the I won’t.
Hi there, besides the energy saving it helps the drive last longer as keeps the wear on the heads and platter low.
Thanks for the information.
I did forget to mention that I don’t usually keep it plugged in and only do so when I plan to do a backup, access data, etc.
In this case, does that affect your response since it’s off most of the time anyway? I want to take care of the drive so want to do what’s best.
Hey, If you wont have it connected all the time, you dont need to worry for sleep mode as is only necessary when the drive is connected for extended periods of time without use.
