Question: I was planning to use it as an external so I can store data I don’t want to be lost and tuck it away since my 4tb external hard drive felt slow and might break down. Can I use it as an external hard drive or do I have to have it plugged in all the time? Thanks
Answer:First off, when you need to migrate any data onto the external drive, you’re going to need to have the drive connected to the system. Secondly, if the drive is not in use all the time, there’s no need to have it connected all the time.
