I was running a 350GB WD Passport plugged into an embedded SoC device, for 6 |
| 12 |
years non-stop, except when power cuts caused the embedded device to |
| 13 |
stop/crash, or when I rebooted it (less than a dozen times a year). When it |
| 14 |
died on me I replaced it with another WD Passport, this time 1TB. It's been |
| 15 |
running for 1.5 years so far. I have never interfered with whatever its own |
| 16 |
USB controller wants to do with its spin cycles. I never saw a reason to. |
