Hi,
I've read a post on here saying that it could be harmful overtime to power a hard drive while the sata cable is unplugged and it's not in use. I'm just curious/paranoid how much I realistically screwed things up by running my system like this daily for about 3 weeks. My SSD is my boot drive and the one that's powered with sata cable unplugged will soon be secondary/storage. I'm just hoping I haven't drastically decreased the lifespan or increased the chance of failure. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
