Hi All,
Another question to mechanical techies out there.
I recall reading about wear and tear dos and don'ts. Is any of the below true?
Feel free to point me to good, credible, web site links for the below
True or false?:
1. Old style Spinning Hard disc laptops - Best to turn off when not use?
- This best saves wear and tear of physical moving parts?
- The spinning hard disc is the primary source of wear and tear.
2. New style Solid state Hard Drive devices - E.g. Mobile phones - Best to keep on all the time?!
- The solid state memory addresses only have a fixed amount of reuses - This is the primary source of wear and tear.
- Turning off and turning on these types of devices uses up alot of solid state memory
- Also for iphones, a lot of processes to close, then reopen
- Thus best not to turn off every night. Just put on airplay mode / Night mode / Set on charge / Back up etc.
3. New style Smart Mobile phones - Best for battery to not turn off every night?!
Would this be true as well?
Hope you can advise
Kind regards
Martin
