Well, afaik the spinning up and down and related temperature changes do the most damage. I am not sure if a disk that is spun up daily will outlast one that mostly idles 24/7. Maybe if you do it only weekly?
Well, I do it weekly in a specific case but I also have other systems running daily. I guess it also depends on the use case / amount of data written and how damaging it can be if the "hot" drive breaks between the syncs.
Without any cold hard data, this isn't worth discussing.
The "cold hard data" is that 100% of the people that would be able to collect this "cold hard data" run their drives 24/7.
