This is how you’re killing your external hard drive
External hard drives aren't as robust as you think
Your PC might have plenty of SSD as well as HDD storage, but external drives still fulfill important functions. I have a 2TB Adata external hard drive that I use to store much more than just archival data. If you're a fan of external hard drives, you should know how not to handle them to ensure they don't die prematurely. From physically handling the drive and unplugging it incorrectly to ignoring signs of failure, you might be unknowingly damaging your external hard drive.
