Well it's gone from free to 180USD a year! - That's quite a jump and led me to uninstall it from the server.

An unexpected side effect of so doing is that now the HDD's go into sleep mode a lot more saving valuable watts of energy as well as reducing wear and tear.

So in a funny way it's nice that they did this! Wink

@Skywatch

don't want to ruin your day, but considering how electronic/mechanic components work - during switch on or off is actually built the highest pressure on components.

I don't remember much cases of electronics died in the slow process. it's mostly like "I turned it off and since then I can not start it anymore!".

Don't you recall ? Smile)
