Lol, if the HDD is not being used, then no, it cannot break.

Any new revision of the drive will be minor, so don't worry about that. Hard drive prices are still coming down and they're a little unpredictable, so buying it now at $75 is a pretty good idea. Don't worry about leaving the drive out of use; it's using it that causes wear.
