Everyone I ever talk to that had a hard drive fail, I ask them if they turn their coputer off when not using them.. all of them replied yes..

the never turning off due to the temp changes is a bullshit myth , nothing cools down that fast , its a gradual temp change over a period of time , so it would have fuck all to do with the drives dying
however there is the myth that the constant surge of power to the drive could kill it over time , wear and tear on the componets
but with the statement of proper cooling yes i do agree with that , drives need a good airflow
