Hi, 

I have a 4TB WD Mybook that i want to use to watch movies etc on my Samsung smart TV

But everytime i finished watching and safely remove WD Mybook from the TV (But still plugged in), the WD Mybook still turned on.
So when i turn off the TV, the WD Mybook "Power-Off Retract Count" Gets Increased. 

 

My question is the increased power-off retract count will break my WD Mybook if i stil use it as external HDD for watching movies on Samsung Smart TV?

 

And another question for my SSD, the Wear Leveling Count is at 40, is this safe? (It's Samsung 840 EVO)

There's a reason for counting that, that will probably shorten it's lifespan.
