Hi.
I have SSD and my system works very well that way. However, I would like to have a backup** option.
I want to know which is better: buying a SATA 6 gb/s disk and a docking station/enclosure with USB 3.0, or just putting the disk inside the case and having it connected all the time.
This is my doubt. I'm a low-power consumption freak. So I wonder if just connecting the thing (by USB or so) when I need it makes any difference over having it connected internally all the time (with some option like turning off the drive when idle, set up in the OS).
**backup as in "just stuff I don't use often". My important files are backed up in a server, etc.
Thanks for your help.
