speaking of HDDs.....read inside
i have 2 HDDs. One SATA drive (primary drive) and an ATA100 (primary IDE). i don't use the IDE at all and recently have been getting an error message during the boot-up crap.
can a HDD start corrupting if unused?

i dunno... i dont think it will because my comp upstairs has been off for MONTHS...and i just turned it on and it was fine. if ur worried about it just plug the power in every 2 months or something. OR if ur comp has an extra power supply plug u can just keep it plugged in without keeping the data wire in

if it's connected and powered then it will spin. if it spins, it will break over time.
