So , how long does it hold info in the ram before it dumps it to the hard drive?
As a side note. I just cannot stand leaving my hd spin 24/7. I shut it down if I'm not using it. It's a little more trouble , but the hard drive will last a lot longer I hope.

Thanks again for all your help now and before :0)

There may be no virus that will infect the actual device, it doesn't mean it would not store and transmit virus's.

A network virus scanner would keep an eye on this. Or an on demand one.


The hard drives do not spin at full speed all the time.

They go down into a lower usage mode, keeping spinning at a low rate so increasing the life. Also, reduces the time if you want to access it.

You can use QDL (Quick Directory Lookup), to increase the speed that you can browse and such!
