I have 3 external 1GB sata drives have them through Esata ports and a sata port, I ahve a simple power switch on the power line to them, is it a BAD thing to shut them off when they are all in standby mode?

Until lobbying is a hanging offense I choose anarchy!
Ah modern gaming its like modern film only the watering down of fiction and characters is replaced with shallow and watered down mechanics, gimmicks and shiny-er "people".
