Probably a silly question & tried searching here, but since I'm not really an IT guru, I want to avoid doing something that could cause my external HDD to get corrupted...
Getting upgraded to 2 Hoppers (1 w/sling) & 2 Joey's tomorrow, & am moving shows off my 722k's to a WD Element, which has been working fine.
When I unplug the HDD from (any) receiver, is the correct way to unplug it from the power adapter first, THEN from the receiver USB?
Does it matter if the receiver is turned on/off? What about the activity light on the WD Element?
Then when you reconnect it, is the receiver first, THEN power adapter?
Thx much!
