Ac long as your do NOT BUY LACIE drives you should be just fine. 4 out of 4 failed during the warranty then 3 out of 4 of the replacement units failed. The 4th might have too if I still used it.
I have 8 external Seagate drives going pretty much 24/7. The only time I turn them off is to reboot everything about once a month.
It's better to leave them on actually. Most drive failures occur during power up if they only power up the odds of a failure drops.
