Since I'd have to power my Mac down to shut it off and if I wanted to turn it back on, make sure the Mac was shut down once more, it make's sense for me to just keep it plugged in and on, unless I'm mobile. Is it okay for the interface to be left on?

Do you have the included power cable plugged in to the FW1814? If you do, you need to disconnect it. The FW1814 is supposed to run on firewire bus power only. So, the FW1814 will only be on when your computer is on. Hope this helps.

There's no need to run off of the power cable. I want to know if I can keep the interface on (as I asked in my first post...) all the time. |
