Default OT: Hardware question - Should I remove my extra HD?

I bought a new computer a few months ago. I stuck the hard drive from my old computer in to transfer a bunch of files. The old hard drive is now empty and never gets used. I don't anticipate using it in the near future.

For some reason I never thought of this until today. Should I take it out? Does it draw power and add heat to the system if it's connected but not being used?
