 Why does my external hard drive run all the time? - Iffy
Is there any need to leave it connected?

It's using electricity all the time, not much, but many households have a large number of low use appliances and their consumption does add up.

Or wouldn't a usb-only drive do the job?

They don't make any noise, are not connected to the mains, and are much smaller than the drive you have.
