Probably a 'Newbie' question this, (Well, I AM), but I have an 'Older' Laptop with (pretty full) 40GB HD, and also two (good quality) 32MB USB Drives I'd like to use for "Expansion" ...
I'm just wondering if it is known whether leaving one, or both, plugged in PERMANENTLY is likely to cause damage, (either to the media itself, or saved content on them) ?!?...
/Both Drives ARE Backed-Up, of course, but when I've left another old USB stick in for "Hours" it got 'slightly warm', so ... well, better check with the Experts mebbe, first
