If you uninstall the USB hardware safely, the disk of the hard disk will not be damaged according to the principle. Because the hard disk will be reset immediately after you uninstall safely, and the head will return to the safe landing area (the area where data is not saved) to prevent the head from scratching the track. If you do not exit safely, the situation is different, because the head is still in the data area and cannot be reset, So it is most likely to cause bad tracks. Although this is the principle, it is better not to shake the hard disk when it is still rotating at a high speed to prevent accidents

This is normal. There should be no harm if it is not pulled out. My mobile hard disk is plugged into the computer every day, but it doesn't even pop up. The power is also on. It has been more than a year, so it doesn't matter.

Yes, it won't. After uninstalling, the system will stop accessing the USB hard disk, that is, it will stop reading the disk. At this time, the power can be cut off

It is normal for the computer to start up 24 hours a day. There is no problem with the motherboard hardware. The fewer times the electronic devices are powered on and off, the better. The only thing that matters is the hard disk. The manufacturer's MTBF refers to continuous operation, but there is also the number of starts and stops, so it should be OK to switch it on and off once a day, but it is better to switch it on and off 5 or 6 times than to keep it on and off. The deformation caused by thermal stress is the main reason for the damage of electronic devices. So some people said that my TV was fine last night, but it didn't turn on today. In fact, you can believe that it was broken when you went to bed at 3:00 in the morning. Shrinkage stress after cooling can lead to faulty solder joints and pull off internal leads of integrated circuits.

The hard disk is running because the power supply of the hard disk is still plugged in. At this time, the hard disk is in standby mode. The power button is designed to make it easy for you to turn off the hard disk, and it will never hurt the hard disk

After the safe uninstallation, the head has stopped moving. At this time, turning off the power supply is the same as turning off the power supply of the hard disk when the desktop computer exits the system normally, which will not damage the disk.

If it is not firmly placed, unplug it when it is not used for a long time.
There will always be loss and unexpected vibration when driving.
If it is firmly placed, it can be used as an ordinary hard disk.

No, after uninstalling, the system stops accessing the USB hard disk, that is, it stops reading the disk, and then the power can be cut off
