Hey guys, iv allways left my pcs on all the time, becuase iv always heard it was better for the Hard drive.

if i put a macbook pro to sleep at night does it do the same to the Hard drive as turnin it off an bootin up.

can leavin a laptop (uMBP) cause more problems with heat, or anything

whats recomended
 
As I said before in your thread, not letting it sleep is just irresponsible and a waste of power and natural resources. Sleep it.

you're not going to hurt your computer by spinning down your hard drives.

Sorry, couldn't resist:p
 
with laptops its a bit different. Most people just close the lid and put them to sleep when they aren't using them. With desktops computers however most people just turn them on and leave them all day.
