I just got an external HD today and it has a power adapter that plugs into the wall (looks like a miniature one they use on laptops). I didnt realize the power switch on the back was already set to ON. Well I plugged it in for the first time and the HD booted up.
My question is, does it make any difference if the switch was set on OFF instead of ON when I plugged it in? It wouldn't surge the HD or do anything damaging the way I did it right? It works now, but still curious if it matters
I think I heard a little spark from the plug when I plugged it into the wall
