I have a hard drive in my PC that I don’t want initializing when I turn my PC on, but I don’t want to remove it from my PC. My question is which one is safest.
unplugging the data cable only,
unplugging the power cable only,
or unplugging both
Edit: Also, what would be safest for an SSD?
(Side note: I think I put this under the wrong topic, but I don’t know if/how I could move it.)
Edit 2: my hard drive is a Western Digital WD2500AAKX 250GB
