I have a Highpoint Stoage dock. Can I leave my hard drive in or should I cover it when not using it?

I'm using one of these guys: http://www.amazon.com/HighPoint-Dedicated-Docking-RocketStor-5422A/dp/B00L6...

I just started incorporating it into the data flow, and right now I just have one 4tb drive I'm using with it. I usually just leave the drive in it on my desk. This means the drive is exposed to the air and dust.

Is that a bad idea? Should I put it away in some soft cover when not using it or am I overthinking it?

too much worry. If you are that worried, put any old SATA drive in and just don't use it.
