Noob Question from an expert
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2008 10:15 am
Hey guys...
I have a 1TB external hard drive that I connect to my computer via USB. When I unplug the hard drive.... can I just unplug the usb from the back of the drive and simply leave the USB cord plugged in at all times to the back of my pc? I wasn't sure if leaving a usb cord plugged into your computer (but not plugged into any device) was something that was okay to do or not. So I thought I'd ask the experts of DevNet just to make sure. Thansk.
