True. My "problem" is especially with that MyBook, because that one is (was) always plugged on the back of the computer under the table, but as I use it as a backup drive, I want it to be unmounted when not backing up. This way - I think - I am also sure that nothing happens to it accidentally.
Mine I unplug the mains adapter when not in use, to increase life expectancy. I know it powers the motor off automatically when not in use, but I fill safer by powering it fully off.
Now I must climb under the table to unplug/plug, instead of just clicking.
There is that.
Well, better for my health, I guess - OpenSuse gives me some more body movement :-)
