My understanding is that a lot of people advocate leaving solid-state gear on all the time in order to avoid transients on startup which shorten components' lifetimes. I have sympaticos and buffalo3, which are listened to daily between music/media. <br /><br />What do you guys do? I'm not really concerned about power consumption, but my placid HD runs rather hot, and I'm a little nervous to leave it completely unattended overnight (one of my 220 heatsinks was nearly untouchable with the lid <em>0ff</em>). My sympatico 'sinks are pretty oversized and I haven't noticed them get hotter than a little warm. My other concern besides transients is heat-cycling; although we're talking about safely sub-100C temps, I can't help but thinking that daily cycling could eventually wear on the board and make it prone to delaminate or something. Maybe it's better to just leave the oven on?</td></tr></table>2016-03-09T19:00:58-07:002016-03-09T19:00:58-07:00defterGoose<table class="content postContainer" width="100%"><tr><td>Hey guys,<br /><br />I'm just wondering what opinions/experience I can field on the issue of leaving gear on all the time.
