annagilbert Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi! I just got my first 16GB Flash Voyager drive and after loading 255 MP3 songs on it, I have it plugged in to a USB port on the rear of my PC via the USB extension cable that came with the drive. I would like to know if it is okay to leave the 16GB installed at all times, including shutdown and power on? I am not worried about viruses and such, just concerned that this may lead to premature death of the drive, versus unplugging it before I shutdown every time and then plugging it back in once my PC is up and running. Thanks, Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 23, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 23, 2009 NP and just FYI I have seen some systems take a few seconds longer when a flash drive is plugged in to get to the desktop when booting up. I think most of that is a BIOS bug or something in BIOS scanning the drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
