I just got a WD Elements external drive and there is a power cord and a USB for the back. there's no light except the one in the back.
anyway I just want to use it for manually backing up files from time to time, and whenever I'm not putting files on it or using it I just want to keep it off. I want to keep it off because I feel like there's no use for it to constantly run when I'm only rarely using it. But even when I go to eject it from the taskbar, I can still feel it spinning and vibrating slightly when I put my hand on it.
Is there any way to turn it off other than yanking out the power cord?
