These do not have on/off switches. However, you can hook it up to a power strip and use the switch on the power strip to turn it on/off. That's how I handled the problem with the drive connected to my WDTV Live.
I let my 2 - 1Tb WD's run all the time, in fact I let all my ext. run all the time.
I would rather have backup drives off except during the backing up process. I guess power strip is a possibility, but it would have to be one drive per power strip which gets kind of dumb.
