Yes there is no power button, so that is pretty much the only way. Before doing that though, I always make sure to "eject" it in Windows first and then wait for it to spin down. You can feel/hear...

My external drive that I tested yesterday does not make any clicking sounds.
When I first plug it in, it make a flurry of little "thuds" when the head seeks, as Windows is recognizing the disk. I...

I am still...

That's interesting. And counter-intuitive. They depend on natural convection for the hot air to rise out the top and pull cooler air in from the bottom and back. A fan on top blowing up would add...

Not push air. Pull air. You can stand 2-3 cases together and put one large fan over the stack, blowing up. Use rubber feet to keep the fan from slipping. Run a 12V fan from a 5V USB wall wart,...
