[QUOTE="Fred Kingston, post: 751547, member: 10742"] It's the On/Off cycle that's injurious Cindy... regardless of the time interval between cycles... Review the power options on your computer, and just let it go to sleep... Power management is NOT an exact science... You need to be ON some form of power management system. The better ones are built into a good UPS... <-- who's primary function is to maintain constant power (which prevents unnecessary power cycling) You can get HUBs on Amazon for not much money to extend/give you more USB ports...<-- you can even chain them to a max. of 127 ports... USB 3 is backward compatible to 2... and if you plug a 3 into a 2, you won't get the speed benefit, they'll just operate at the 2 speeds... [/QUOTE]
