PS TV turns on by itself after clicking on the extension's cord reset button

[Windows_10_User]

Every day, before going to bed, I click the external HDD's red button in which the PS5's external HDD is connected just to be sure because the PS5's external HDD or the extension cord in which the former is connected to does a weird and annoying buzz-like noise when it's connected to the latter (even if the PS5 is turned off) and I'm afraid I can have a fire. I can't understand if the noise comes from the PS5's external HDD or the extension cord in which it's connected to but it starts after connecting the PS5's external HDD to the extension cord.

Anyway, the PS TV is also connected to this extension cord and after clicking the latter's red button to turn it on, the PS TV (and the set-top box and the HDMI switch) always turns on when I previously turned the PS TV off before clicking the extension's cord red button to turn the extension cord off (I do the same thing with the set-top box and with the HDMI switch). Is this normal behavior?

Is this normal behavior?

Yes. The PSTV turns on after power loss restore, and every time after plugging it in. You can give it it's own switch if you want.

The same thing happens with my set-top box and HDMI switch. It doesn't make sense to me and it's annoying. I have to have all my devices connected to the same switch.

It's annoying, but that's the normal behavior. I guess it has something to do with the Vita's USB charging feature.

Before going to bed, I always click on the reset button on the extension cord because the PS5's external HDD does a weird noise when connected (even if the PS5 is not turned on) and I'm afraid I can have a fire. I've changed the extension cord and I already had this problem when it was connected to the PS4.

Anyway, after clicking on the reset button to turn it on, the PS TV (and the set-top box) always turns on when before I turned it off before clicking on the extension cord's reset button (I do the same thing with the set-top box). Is this normal behavior?

Describe this weird noise, if it's like a clicking sound, the drive is probably dying.

And it happens with other devices like my set-top box and HDMI switch so I prefer to click on the extension's cord reset button.

It's an annoying buzz-like noise.

When connecting the PS5's Seagate 3.5" 8TB external HDD to the PS5 it does this noise even if the PS5 is turned off.

I already had this problem when the external HDD was connected to my PS4 Pro. Does this mean the external HDD may stop working, or even worse, may it fry all my devices connected to the extension cord (like the PS5, its external HDD and other devices) or/and may it even start a fire? I only bought the external HDD a little more than two years ago (at the time for the PS4 Pro) and I've had this problem since then. Meanwhile, the warranty has expired.

If I connect the external HDD to the PC I don't have this noise.
