Yes, disconnect them if they are more than 5 years old.
If you experienced system crashing (into white noise on your visual display), random system locking up a browser or your explorer until you really have to do a hard reboot, and the rotoray drive clicks, copy all your important stuff and disconnect the drive altogether.
SATA rotory drives are a thing of the past, and chances are likely you’re working with one that WONT corrupt data nor report bad sectors, but will find it making clicking noises. Chances are it won’t be dead until another 5 years but will crash your system more times in a day than you take shits in a week.
Get an ssd or buy nvme drives. Thank yourself later.
