Quick question regarding eSATA
I have my WD hard drive in an enclosure, attached to my computer by eSATA. I have an eSATA bracket with 2 female eSATAs plugged into two onboard SATA plugs. This, of course, means that it's not "hot swapable" or whatever. My question is that is it bad to turn off the enclosure when I'm not using it? And turn it back on when ever I need to back up my stuff. Because when I first installed it, I had to reboot for my computer to detect the HDD. Thanks!
