I leave it on always during the winter. Japanese homes are not
heated at night, and the inside temp drops into the low 40s (F)
at night -- sometimes lower. Don't think the drive would ever spin
up on those mornings. I have to bang the keyboard something
fierce to get it unfrozen.
I the summer, I shut 'er off whenever I can.
